  1. I'll send in some of mine. I'm pretty hairy. RT @bing: Scientists ask people to send in Sasquatch hair for testing. binged.it/MD9xVY
  2. @sethotron just passing thru on my way to the College of Curiosity in St Louis. :-)
  3. I am in Denver, the land where @halbid and @BadAstronomer roam freely, squawking their characteristic mating calls.
  4. #DailySkeptoid: A particle floating on the ocean takes a circular path as a wave passes under: sucked up the face, dragged down the back.
  5. @taddsche Nope. They blew more on the canceled Constellation than @SpaceX has ever spent. It's all about efficiency.
  6. @katsudonburi :-D
  7. I love you @NASA, but @SpaceX has completely kicked your ass on this one.
  8. On my way to Denver airport. Anyone have a message for the Reptoid Illuminati you'd like me to pass on? skep.us/4194
  9. And the winning Skeptoid T-shirt design is: skeptoid.com/blog/2012/05/2…
  10. #DailySkeptoid: Alien abductions used to be Old Hag attacks. Fascinating science & history of nocturnal assaults: skep.us/4008
  11. I get bitch-slapped for always buying super-cheap no-name accessories from Amazon: arcfn.com/2012/03/inside…
  12. @geneticmaize love ya but "Eeewwwwww..." (yay for gluten though)
  13. @jamesnbarnesuk You are amazing sir. My own lame guess was off the cuff and was a backwards way of solving it.
  14. @geneticmaize I hope I get a chance to try cultured meat one day. Such a neat idea.
  15. The SpaceX Dragon successfully flew by the ISS last night ahead of tomorrow's planned rendezvous. No problems so far.
  16. @jamesnbarnesuk Well get on with it, dammit.
  17. @MagicAlec @BarmicRin * CLAP *
  18. By my calculations, a randomly reassembled Rubik's Cube has a 1/16 probability of being solvable. Can anyone double check me?
  19. Here's an eclipse photo you haven't seen. What caused this? twitter.com/BrianDunning/s…
  20. Just learned a fun new phrase from one of the many anti-Semitic commenters on Skeptoid.com: "Zio-terrorism". Sigh.
