MAJeff here, playing "host" this Sunday. The image above is a bit dated. It was a poster produced for last year's Folsom Street Fair in San Francsicso. (For those out of the know, the Folsom Street Fair is a queer...

Once again, we open the floor to the lyrical expression of a few readers who have been inspired by the recent effusion of musical and poetical outbursts here. Fortunately for all, there is no gong hanging on the wall behind...

For those of you who liked yesterday's little poem, here's a somewhat rowdier piece that I was sent. DNA (to the tune of TNT by ACDC) Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! See me divide up in your...

I was sent this lovely bit of poetic biology, by someone who said it was written by a colleague at the Salk…maybe she'll give full credit in the comments. Consider yourself a knowledgeable cell biologist if you get all the...

Regular commenter Patricia sent me a present — isn't this pretty? The octopus pendant is also very nice. You can get your own at the Emerson Glass Art Studio, if you're envious. Thanks, Patricia! I will get it away from...

Never mind that, though — Hybrid Medical Animation has a lovely demo reel of cells and molecules bouncing around....

I think I have a new favorite t-shirt supplier: Retropolis Transit Authority. Not only are the designs well done and stylish, but any designer who has both "mad geniuses" and "space pirates" as categories (not to mention "demented futuristic housewives,"...

I never thought I could actually like a portrait of George W. Bush, but this one isn't bad. Go ahead and click on the link — the overall portrait is fine, and you may not notice anything at all disturbing...

I am reminded of the whole host of intellectual failings of creationists: it's not just that they reject modern science, but many of them tend to be brain-damaged peckerwoods who are also incapable of viewing literature and art without...

Wouldn't some variant of this image make for a most excellent tattoo? (I expect the Trophy Wife will come screeching into the parking lot any minute now, to tell me no, no, no while hitting me with a rolled up...

I wish I could be there this Friday — this sounds like an extremely cool art gallery event, sponsored by the Cephalopod Appreciation Society. See, Seattle gets a whole society, while Morris just gets me, sitting in a corner,...

Cute, weird collection of bug art. This was painted by a cockroach?...

So do I, although I favor more squid, less girl. (Should be work-safe, since any nudity is tasteful, and human-animal chimeras aren't that offensive, are they? Besides, you should be at home, loosening your belt and letting that nice feast...

People had some peculiar ideas in 1932. Try reading this wonderfully detailed diagram of evolution (if you've got the bandwidth, download the 3212x8748 pixel version). The vertical axis makes sense: it's a logarithmic scale of geologic time. It's not quite...

Here I am, rooming with that space case, Phil Plait, and what should appear on the astronomy photo of the day but a cosmic cephalopod, a picture of Comet Holmes that has a resemblance to a cartoon octopus. Perhaps this...
