Now this is a headline: Man lived to 112 on sausage-and-waffles diet. In addition to living that long, I have another dream:
"All of his organs were extremely youthful. They could have been the organs of someone who was 50 or 60, not 112. Clearly his genes had some secrets," Coles said.

My eye is on a lovely little MacBook Pro for myself someday, but I have to say the news about Boot Camp, which allows the Mac to boot into Windows, wasn't at all interesting to me. Now John Gruber explains why it's good news.
I doubt that I'll ever use it, though. Why would anyone want to swap Unix…
I've been married for 30 years, and there's no end in sight, fortunately. But just imagine that, in my imminent old age, I were to seriously injure myself and be hospitalized for a long period…and my wife wasn't allowed to see me. And then it was decided that we were both so feeble and in need of…
I have a Twitter account, and there's nothing special about it except one nuisance: Dennis Markuze/David Mabus spams it constantly, creating dozens of new accounts every day and sending me hundreds of messages every day, typically repetitive stuff on the lines of "You are a NAZI!" and "We're going…
Well I for one welcome our multi-tentacled overlords!

What is this 'Clarkesworld'? Fiction magazine?

Clarkesworld is a primarily fiction magazine (although they're adding non-fiction content), edited by Nick Mamatas and Sean Wallace. They publish two stories a month: one by an established writer (in this case Caitlyn Kiernan) and one by someone up and coming (here M. P. Ericson). They're affiliated with the bookseller Clarkesworld Books, and because they publish a relatively small number of stories compared to other publishers, they're known for picking extremely strong and unique short stories.
"big octopus" comments the artist, forgetting to specify endo- or exoskeleton as the support mechanism for such a large body out of water. I'm going to have to go with some anti-gravity technology to explain this one. Either that or hot air, as in balloons.
#13No, PZ, we will never bow to you or any scumbag atheist "leader".
Ah, yes, another loving Christian chimes in with his forgiving, tolerant, Christlike thought of the day.
As mythological entities go, I'll take the laser-equipped Space Octopus over the malevolent Sky Daddy, Destroyer of Worlds On A Whim, if for nothing more than the cool factor.
