Those who've been regulars here for a while know that on Fridays and the weekends, I often (although not always) like to take a lighter approach with my posts and links. In that vein, I bring you a vision of what's become of Michael Jackson...

I just commented over at DrugMonkey's on a question he re-posed on behalf of a question posed by blogger, Lorax:
However, I am concerned about message. I do not want the interesting and important science to be diluted (to some potential readers) by the fact that I am an opinionated bastard. So, I…

This week, Seed asks its ScienceBloggers:
How is it that all the PIs (Tara, PZ, Orac et al.), various grad students, post-docs, etc. find time to fulfill their primary objectives (day jobs) and blog so prolifically?...
As you probably know, I find myself in the grad student demographic, and as…

Homo Floresiensis perhaps?
But how do you explain the existence of pygmies and midgits? ;)
The MTA/NYC Transit Authority actually auditions performers to allow them to appear in the subway, Penn Station and Grand Central. Some of them are very good.
That was kinda crazy. I hope you didn't find that by searching on your own - there are only a few search terms I can imagine would bring one to such a video, and all of them bring your character into question. ;)

Or maybe it's just because God likes movies like Wizard of Oz, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Willow. Especially Willow.
Rest assured, I didn't find that one on my own. A friend sent it to me. What that says about her, I don't know.

Hi TheProbe,
One of the developmental milestones for our son was the first time he ever pointed anything out to me and asked me what it was.'
We had been in NYC for about 2 months and were waiting for the 5 to go downtown. He points and says, "Daddy, what's that?" I see a rat the size of a toy poodle bounding down the platform toward us. Dumbstruck I stood there with my mouth open until his younger sister shrieked, "that's a rat!"
The train arrived and we ran aboard. Good stuff.
I'll bet an east side rat versus a west side one anyday after I saw that guy.
