When he's not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found blogging, doodling, fooling around and offering his services as news administrator and writer at The Daily Grail. He also regularly participates in other websites and podcasts like Radio Misterioso and Where Did the Road Go? He impatiently awaits for the return of the mothership in Mexico City. absurdbydesign.com

  1. Star Wars
    *sighs*

    great…now we have to slog through the 30 years worth of fanfiction that’s in between then and now. God dammit Disney! and screw it all I liked The Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network, why the fuck they had to cancel!!! 51 episodes (or so I’ve heard) and several disappointed writers later because Disney said it was too violent.

    Sorry, I’m a nerd who occasionally still watches cartoons.

  2. Floating cities
    Although not of my home town, the “Well DUH” link actually is not to unlike what happened to my office and home town after Hurricane Sandy. Now people are rising up rather than wanting to touch the water. Good luck getting shore communities, THE biggest economical draw for most of the US and also the world, to agree to this. even my friend who lives on a house boat comes in shore some time. There’s a lot of risk if these cities become like a bath toy in a tub bobbing around and waiting for Poseidon to shit on their parade. Also at the rate we are going with the oceans, we should probably worry about fixing the environmental issues first.

    Enjoy…

    1. Water world
      You’re implying that beach real estate will remain an attractive investment. With rising sea levels & stronger hurricanes, that may not be the case at all.

      1. I’m implying
        That people who have experienced disaster may not be so friendly to the idea of a floating city. But yeah as sea levels rise this is going to continue to be an issue. I have no doubt in my mind that in a few decades (or sooner) I may need a boat to get around 😛

  3. Clone a mammoth?
    Should we clone a mammoth? Sure! What could possibly go wrong? We know everything there is to know about reintroducing an extinct species from the pristine environment of 50,000 years ago into the modern day atmosphere, and we know exactly how, say, the mammoth’s gut bacteria would interact with humans today. And because the project scientists are interested only in the advancement of knowledge and not just their careers, they haven’t been at all secretive and surely they’ve have opened the project to outside scrutiny, and must have invited scientists from all over the world to fully review their work and comment on possible cloning outcomes. And certainly they’re moving very, very slowly, because they want to anticipate every possible consequence of cloning a mammoth.

    So there couldn’t possibly be anything to worry about. After all, when has it ever been wrong to trust scientists with the most important decisions about life on earth?
