The Bugle

Highly recom­men­ded pod­cast full of enter­tain­ing bull­shit hos­ted by John Oliver of The Daily Show fame, and Andy Zalts­man of being co-host of The Bugle, and cre­ator of the audio cryptic cross­word fame. A true test­a­ment to the spirit of using lies to tell the truth (to para­phrase Neil Gai­man), this is one pod­cast you will …

George de Hevesy and Aqua Regia

When it comes to SMBC jokes, one must be care­ful to dis­tin­guish between the satire, and the true situ­ation that may as well have been satire. Today’s case on George de Hevesy is one of those strange but true tales. As Hevesy him­self describes in Adven­tures in Radioiso­tope Research: The Col­lec­ted Papers of George Hevesy in …

Welcome Trolls

Tro­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lo­lol! It took a while, but I finally man­aged to snag myself some good-old fash­ioned trolls who write like 3-year-olds. Check out their scrawls here, here and here. I don’t intend to change the site mod­er­a­tion set­tings yet, but I may do so if the trolls are only keen on repeat­ing them­selves word-for-word.

Physics Jests

I didn’t know TEDx­Cal­tech did a mock par­ody of Who Wants to be a Mil­lion­aire with Stephen Hawking’s voice-mail record­ing as a prize. Although edu­ca­tional, their attempt at humour failed. Or did it?

Beard

SMBC has found another way to per­fectly describe my feel­ings regard­ing the fungal out­growth infest­ing my jaw. Thank­fully, I am not emo­tion­ally burdened with a mate (yet). Indeed, the num­ber one reason excuse I use for not shav­ing is the rate of growth that neces­sit­ates daily trim­ming — a risk to my skin I rather fail …

A Message on Imaginary Math Teachers

I just returned from an enjoy­able fac­ulty din­ner, and have pro­cured a tonne of pic­tures of attract­ive people in vari­ous arrange­ments of décor. A few good weeks of band prac­tice to per­form as final-year stu­dents made the event even more mean­ing­ful. The veget­arian selec­tion was also exquis­itely var­ied and enjoy­able. And here I am pro­mot­ing a …
