Okay.. we ALL know ‘Man vs. Canada Goose’…right?

Right???

(Well, if not… and I suppose it IS possible… go here and see the original.)

Well later came ‘Man Fights Goose, with Lightsaber’ and somehow I managed to miss it up until now.

Behold the wonder….

(Oh, and technically, it’s two lightsabers. But I just didn’t like that title as much. And since this is my spot I did what I wanted. Yup.)

Doesn’t need a lot of explanation.

What could I say anyway?

Well…besides, enjoy!

Oh, and… Beam me up Scotty!

Yes, you read that right. Fractal pancakes!

Behold….

(The picture above is totally owned by this awesome guy Nathan Shields who I sincerely hope doesn’t mind me using it here.)

But there’s more…so much more over on Saipancakes.

Like organ pancakes and mathematical constants pancakes.

Or the fabulous and spectacular marine invertebrates pancakes.

Go look… go now!

(Oh and check out Nathan’s other site 10MinuteMath.com)

Take eight floppy drives…

have them play the Doctor Who theme song…

and well you have a little slice of magic.

The hubby and I are gearing up for our favorite event of the year… the Maryland Film Festival.

Things kick off with the opening night shorts tomorrow, followed by a long and wonderful weekend of mad dashes between theaters packing in as many films as we possibly can. Fueled by caffeine and sangria it’s sure to be a fabulous couple of days.

If you’re in the Maryland area I highly recommend catching a few films this weekend.

Hope to see you there!

Being in an all-things-film kind of mood (when am I not really?)  I thought I’d share a couple of vintage movie theater pics that I unearthed from the Smithsonian’s collection.

(I’m dying over how gorgeous the drive in theater one is.)

Remember to click on the photos to see bigger versions. Enjoy!…

So, you see, your in space and you have a water bubble. That’s already cool.

Then you insert another water bubble inside the first bubble. But wait…inside that second bubble is…  an air bubble!

Yes kids, its fun in space with bubbles… more specifically antibubbles…  hosted by one of our favorite astronauts, Don Pettit.

Astronauts are already the coolest, but when they can manage to get as excited as Pettit does about his job, well, they’re almost worship worthy.

Oh, and those bubbles? Incredibly cool to watch! Enjoy…

Lucky for me my cat doesn’t read Yahoo (or hang out of Reddit) cause knowing him he’d be demanding his very own “Cat-At”  before the day was out.

Now stop imagining it because you CAN watch 56 episodes of Star Trek all at the same time

Yes, that’s two whole seasons, running together with sound.

Yes, it’s cacophonous.

And yes, it’s kinda fabulous too.

…to reignite some public passion we need even MORE new exciting photos like these retro space pRon shots from 65-66.

That’s Ed White in the first two photos. He’s the first American to perform a space walk. And the third shot is Buzz Aldrin.

Sure random “wheee I’m in space!” space walk photos may not be scientific, purposeful, or even “safe” (bah…heh what IS safe in space anyway?).

But they are exciting and romantic.

And let’s face it, the program sure could use a shot of romance…not to mention a serious cash infusion.

(Although,  I must admit, it  puzzles me how anyone can possibly  be bored with the idea of people in space. It’s freakin’ space people…SPACE! )

Yeah?

What cha doin’ ?

Chillin’… just chillin’…

Oh. Cool….
