If you want to do evil, science provides the most powerful weapons to do evil; but equally, if you want to do good, science puts into your hands the most powerful tools to do so. The trick is to want the right things, then science will provide you with the most effective methods of achieving them.

B asked me the other day to mention his dad's blog sometime, so of course I will do so. Observe the Banana. It's part of the tapestry here in little ol' Morris.
Aries: Look. The reason for your headaches is all the head-butting you do. Switch it up a little, and next time life throws one of those little annoyances your way, trying biting or kicking instead.

Aires at last! Thanks, PZ! Biting and kicking, eh? Good advice.

Excellent advice. Both my mother and I are Aries and fight like (head-butting) cats and dogs. Offing her with a few jugular bites might just do the trick!

I can think of several good reasons not to bring this up, but that one is a surprisingly good fit...

Whoever B is, his dads blog can't be as worthy as mine.

I'm next I'm next I'm next! I can't wait to see my horoscope on the next post! Come on, Taurus!

The robot musicians are cool, but I'm such a skeptic (cynic?)that you'd have to prove to me that the music isn't prerecorded. Interesting though, and thoroughly magical to a non-musician. Thanks, Ted.

I know I'm new around here (and to blogging in general), but if this is about shameless self promotion, people can come visit my blog too!

Although I do enjoy that my horoscope was finally posted, I think the headache is actually from all those damn neurotransmitters and brain structures I have to memorize for my neuroscience final tomorrow... speaking of which, I guess I should stop spending time online and actually do that learning.

...is it bad that the first thing that came to mind when I read "observe the banana" was "the atheist's nightmare"?

"Behold the banana: the atheist's worst nightmare..."
I haven't seen that video in ages, but thinking about all those odd comments about tapered ends fitting nicely into mouth holes and avoiding squirts in the face still makes me smile...

Banana? I don't remember no banana - potato yes, banana no. :) :)

About halfway down the blog is an article about an artist who is working together with a team of engineers, scientists and volunteers to get a giant banana to fly over Texas. I never heard of this before, but went to the website and found it interesting. It's an art project, but they need donations adding up to 1.5 million dollars before they can proceed. The pictures look hilarious.

ARIES! The look on your face will be priceless when you find that forty pound watermelon in your colon!

I am definitely not going to mention my blog. My website, yes. My forthcoming book, yes. But definitely not my blog.
