Well shit.
I went to sleep last night, happy as a clam cause my young girl dreams of destroying the planet and everything on it were finally about to come true thanks to BOOBS...
And then I wake up this morning.
And now Im sure we are going to have to deal with The Accommodationists bitching about how very rude and uncivil it was of us to prove to the world that the god of Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi does not exist, but really the religion of Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi is so more elegant and enlightened than us petty scientists were making it out to be anyway, blah blah blah.
Maaaaan...

We had the craziest poker game last night. We play a $1/$2 pot limit hold em game. Not really a big money game, and usually the pots get bigger toward the end of the night as people loosen up, try to push people around with a big stack, or try to recoup their losses. Well last night was insane from…
Kij Johnson's "Ponies" is the second on Locus's Short Story Club list of award-nominated stories. More than that, though, it's an actuall award winner, having claimed a share of the Nebula for Best Short Story.
I enjoyed Johnson's two novels, The Fox Woman and Fudoki quite a bit, so I'm happy to…
... In which I narrow the gulf between two allied factions enough that with a running start you can jump across ... maybe.
It has been suggested that Accommodationism is "a more moderate atheist perspective on the nature of religion and science."1 In this view, religion and science are not…
While I was editing and posting the pictures for last night's family blogging, SteelyKid came in and said "Daddy, we watched [indistinct name] today, and they created their own story on the show. But I don't know how to do that."
"Sure you do, honey," I said. "You create stories all the time. You…
I for one think the experiment was far too short to reveal anything meaningful. MOAR BEWBS!
Purely for science, mind you.
Oh Abby, I expected better of you than that snipe at us Accommodationists. I have been lauding the Boobquake on my blog for a few days now. I fail to see why you might think I would do otherwise.
I am going with, you all didn't dress immodestly enough. You may have to go topless, also pics or didn't happen.
I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.
Could be a dose-response issue.
JohnV is right. We're going to need more data points so we can get a proper dose-response
curve.
I think we need further testing. If showing cleavage didn't work, then we need to up the ante. I propose a National Wear-a-bikini-to-work Day. And if that doesn't do it, then maybe a topless day.

I might get punched in the head for suggesting this but we could also convince all the women dress in burkas for a day and see if the seismographs call down. Possible side benefit...the religious fundamentalist asshats might STFU for 24 hours and let us drink our coffee and do our science in peace.
You know you're just being lazy. If you really want to destroy the world you're going to have to work at it.
That is why you got into viruses, isn't it?
If enough men go around "hangin' brain", will that end up causing volcanic eruptions?
This whole business is totally irresponsible. It was bad enough when the goal was just a few earthquakes, but now it's the destruction of the entire earth. You are worse than those maniacs at the LHC. At least they are going to destroy the earth by accident, but you are trying to do it on purpose. Just because you think it won't work isn't an excuse.
On the other hand, as a scientist I am rather interested in the mechanism.
