Yes, I know, that was a somewhat crude title. It is not, however, misleading. You see, a little while ago I read on Inhabitots (Inhabitat's despicable hellspawn) the following headline: I was intrigued, naturally. And being a responsible and intelligent member of the human race, I naturally look up the original study every time the... Continue Reading →
NENDO’S CUTE PLANT-SHAPED AIRLEAF MINI WON’T DO A GODDAMN THING
Every once in a while, I think about how many of my posts come from Inhabitat.

They've been testing it since last January, and apparently it's doing well enough to implement. The main objection that most people seem to have, and I do not... Continue Reading →
THIS ISN’T ROCKET SURGERY
First things first. This story came from Inhabitat. Based on the vast majority of my previous experience with Inhabitat, we can immediately assume that they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Second, they're talking about space and rockets, and based on my previous experience with basically any news source, no one knows what the... Continue Reading →
