Shelley and Steve have completed their fusion and opened their new blog, Of Two Minds, today. I guess when you meld those two, the end result is James Kakalios, since the subject of the new blog seems to be the superpowers of comic book heroes. That could be loads of fun!

So I guess they can't be all bad. Yesterday, I chastised Michio Kaku severely for stepping out of his expertise as a physicist to say something stupid about biology. James Kakalios agreed with me, and sent along a little essay about the subject that also makes the point that expertise is important…

The public persona of the Atom is mild-mannered physics professor Ray Palmer, who fashioned a lens that enabled him to shrink any object to any degree he wished. The lens's secret ingredient is a chunk of a white dwarf star, and a 1960s…

A six legged octopus(?) fished off north Wales now in an aquarium in Blackpool, in North West England.
Good to see it's finally up.
I'll save for my hexapus comments for the PZ post that will undoubtedly appear very soon.
"The attention-starved mollusc had to fasten himself to the glass of his tank before anyone realised, whereupon this photo was taken - very carefully, as flash photography can be fatal to highly light-sensitive octo- and hexapuses. "
And the display is called "Suckers"... I, for one, welcome our new vampiric overlords.
