It's nice to see the Tri-City. I saw a lot of movies there in the early 80s.

The last picture show, Steve Fitch

They missed such a great opportunity to go with horg.org . Bummer

I sent a letter today - something I haven’t done for years

It’s full of plastic bread clips

It’s for Science

Awfully vague. As pets, primarily dogs and cats. As food, many fish and some birds. For humor, amphibians on top.

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Reblog for bigger sample size!

I don't remember the name, but it was something on the ARPANET.

Coffee with half and half and sugar. My hot tea blend the same way.(half fine black tea, usually something from Cornwall, and half roasted Yerba mate')

do americans drink coffee with milk

But... not a cube.

you never know!

But where did the delivery person leave this note???

Do you remember that one time when we were off the shoulder of Orion and we set all those attack ships on fire? There was that one guy who just stood there and watched them burn. Sometimes, I wonder what happened to him.

saw this on twitter and thought it was interesting. put in the tags a game that came out the year you turned 18

Yep, that is talent. And a lot of practice.

I was discussing high school proms with a friend, and he said guys wants one of two things in a prom date:

1. A slut who will blow you both going to the prom and coming back.

Or

2. Jennifer Connely in the dance scene from "Labyrinth".

My wife and I are big fans of Labyrinth and David Bowie. For her birthday a few years ago I got her this:

Labyrinth As The World Falls Down

I would pay extra for that cup, if it still has the kitty marks.

If I can breaststroke a little more than 300 miles, I can make it to the Galapagos Islands. I'd like to think I could.

go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish

Because Al Franken has something called "integrity", which is something the other side lacks...

I'm still in school. 7th grade this year. But that's fine, because I'm not a student, I'm the teacher. This is my 32nd year of teaching science. I love my job!

it’s crazy how i don’t know what any of you do for school/uni/work? who are you guys outside of tumblr? what do you work as?? 

The fun fact was that you could activate it by pushing a wire up into the holes in the bottom, without the main device. This is essentially how they were designed. When the button was pressed, the device sent a stiff wire up in this, activating it. It only had 4 uses before needing to be replaced.

I'm wondering exactly how springy those steps are. Central support is nonexistent. Each step down this would have a noticeable 'boing!' effect.

Having worked food service for a lot of years, I was on tenterhooks the entire time...

Cameriere al top!!

My wife and I are teachers. Because most education deductions were eliminated by Trump's "tax cuts", our taxes went up by $7000...

The Venn diagram between those two has close to a 100% overlap.

when I'm teaching the periodic table and the structure of the atom to my students, I show them this picture. I say it's the "smartest picture on Earth".

Not only was Marie Curie the only person in that picture with two Nobels, she was the first person to win two, and the ONLY person ever to win in two different categories.

Marie curie being the only one there with two Nobel prizes like an absolute icon

They are all amazing though

Speak for yourself. I like really spicy food!

The only state of matter that doesn’t pass through the anus is plasma.

Sheer brilliance.

when I become an eccentric billionaire I'm going to buy every house in 10 square blocks of unremarkable suburb. I will have them all furnished and decorated except for (and this is key) one house in the dead center. this house I will put up for sale at a ridiculously reasonable price for the area. once it sells, and the new owner/couple/family moves in, the plan will spring into action.

every single house besides the one in the center within my 10 square blocks will remain uninhabited. I will put all the lights inside on timers so that it appears that people are living in there, I will have lawns mowed when I'm sure everyone in my victim house is at work/school, I will have decorations put up during the holidays and cars moved there and parked in driveways when I'm sure that the owner/couple/family in the house at the center is not there to witness it happening. I will produce all the superficial trappings of life without a single person actually being there.

who knows how long it'll take them to realize that something is wrong? when their kids are playing in the yard, and they notice they've never seen another child around here even once, despite the four-bedroom family homes all down the street? after a few weeks, when they realize the lights in the house across the way click off at exactly 9:45, on the second, every single night? when they've been living there for a month and a half and they realize they've never seen a single car park in front of another house? when they want to greet their neighbors and not a single house in the whole neighborhood opens its door?

when they do realize that they're completely alone here, what would they do with that fact? what would you do if all at once, as you stood in a crowd, you realized that every single person around you was a mannequin? it's unnerving, sure, but enough to warrant a move? how long will they live in this idyllic ghost town before it gets to them? can a person survive in a dollhouse? Thank you. *I wave to the crowd as I walk offstage at my ted talk. one person gives a halfhearted round of applause from the back. a talk about sustainable ecosystem management was scheduled for right now and no one knows how I got up here.*

Let's be clear. Mr. Gaiman is the exception, not the rule. Most professional authors are nowhere close to millionaires. I was surprised when I learned that, as a public school teacher, I earn more than most authors. Neil is coming to bat for all of those authors who will lose a substantial part of their income because of this. I agree that libraries are important, and not everyone can afford to buy books, but I can see both sides of this coin.

come the fuck on neil

Is it still owned by the creationists? That's depressing. It used to be slightly scientifically accurate.

Going to the Cabezon creationist dinosaur theme park today if anyone wants to hang out

Darker Than The Dark Ages

No doubt about it

I've been a teacher for 32 years, and I still have school dreams. Not about teaching, but attending.

School being so traumatic people have anxiety dreams about it for life sure doesn't seem uh. Normal
