Myrmecos goes home
July 21, 2010
After some consideration, I have decided to move Myrmecos back to its original location: http://myrmecos.net/ I apologize for making everyone change RSS feeds and bookmarks twice in recent months. What's worse, I can't promise that Myrmecos won't move again in the near future. Some intriguing…
Just what you wanted: more Pepsi blogging

I've posted all I'm going to say about Pepsigeddon here.
Enjoy a nice cold Pepsi today
July 6, 2010
And while you're doing that, I have answered the Monday Mystery back at my tried and true wordpress blog. I will be blogging at the old digs for the next few days until I have had time to digest the unfortunate recent events here at Scienceblogs. What's going on? I'll let my excellent sciblings…

All of the experiments can be done by adults with younger kids…
Spinning black hole swallows star; surpasses all supernovae in brightness (Synopsis)
"Even with all the collected data we cannot say with 100% certainty that the ASASSN-15lh event was a tidal disruption event. But it is by far the most likely explanation." -Giorgos Leloudas Last year, a record-shattering event occurred: we saw the brightest supernova ever observed in the Universe. It outshone the previous record holder by more than double, and it reached a peak brightness of more…
Bat-eared Foxes for No Good Reason
I have had this picture for a while just waiting for groundbreaking news about Bat-eared foxes. Well it never came but I can't just stare at the little guys any longer and not post them. Photo credit Floridapfe of South Korea's Everland Zoo They aren't babies and therefore not ZooBorn's fodder, but they are pretty ridiculous. Insects make up 80% of the Bat-eared fox diet. The other 20%…
