Or maybe Velociraptors on a Zeppelin!

Once upon a time we were very close to getting this. Jess Nevins just did a whole write-up about Zeppelin Stories for Incognito:

Several zeppelin films were in pre-production, including the Willis O’Brien-directed War Eagles (in which Lost Race Vikings, riding pterodactyls, battle German zeppelins in the skies over New York), the Republic Pictures serial The City in the Sky (in which Ray “Crash” Corrigan would reprise his role from Undersea Kingdom and fight against a floating city of Yellow Perils), and the Universal Pictures serial Smilin’ Jack vs the Mad Baron (which would have been the first serial for comic strip aviator Smilin’ Jack). But on May 6th the Hindenberg burned.

I need to repeat this bit because it makes me so happy: Lost Race Vikings, riding pterodactyls, battle German zeppelins in the skies over New York.

There should be a steampunk horror movie: Velociraptors in Pneumatic Tubes! Or maybe Velociraptors on a Zeppelin!

So you're saying I should add Velociraptors to the ongoing serial I'm writing for Steampunk Tales? I could do that.

This seems all basic astronomy to me. Why Do We See the Moon in Daylight?

Any clear morning this week around 10 a.m. you can see the moon riding high in the western sky. Many people are surprised to see the moon in full daylight, yet it is a completely normal occurrence.

A very common misconception in astronomy is that the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky. In fact, the moon is only in this position for a single instant in the whole lunar month: the exact time of full moon, when it is 180 degrees away from the sun. The rest of the month it can be anywhere from 0 to180 degrees away and, at least in theory, visible in the daytime sky.

I wonder how many people have these misconceptions... how could one not notice the moon during the day?

If the multiverse theory is correct, maybe this actually happened... that makes me happy.

I consider that advisable. I mean, yes.

For no reason whatsoever, I bring you Yoga Dogs.

I think Americans have every reason to be concerned about health care reform when it has been suggested that some of the costs will be paid for by freeding the elderly to velociraptors on pay-per-view TV.

Is there gonna be a Watch-and-Post?

So I was pushy and I did call the recruiter that was supposed to call me yesterday, and he called me back and is submitting me for a position. Damn, I hope this works out. It sounds interesting and pays in the range I want to be paid. I might not even have to move out of this apartment, although I really should.

We haven't had that yet? Sheesh.

ita, I hope it does work out!

According to newspapers reporting on what an Australian newspaper reported, Caster Semenya is a hermaphrodite: [link] (I hope that's the right term, and not offensive. Some of the other articles started with something like, "Caster's a woman ... and a man!" but this one seemed relatively "just the facts.")

I'm sure hermaphrodite is not the right term, just because the first thing I think of never is.

I feel bad for Caster, because it seems the male organs were internal, so how was ze to know?
