Why No Comments?

Noticed something different?

Yeah, I’ve gotten so much comment spam that I had to turn off comments on the blog. Frankly, that’s a shame because I liked getting the occasional comment from my three readers. Ah, well, such is life. Maybe when I change to a new blog system, they’ll be better about blocking comment spam.

I can only hope.

Fish Stories

“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?”

Well, not the characters from this story on Wired News! But, it’s still an interesting article about deep-sea life. Life so strange, in fact, that it almost seems like it came from an alien planet. Imagine, creatures capable of consuming prey larger than their own body! Or, strange, glowing, flowery jellyfish that are self-illuminating. Or, even a type of previously unknown, worm-like life. Well, it’s all there at the bottom of the ocean.
One of the reasons that I’m posting this is that someone on a created culture list has been asking about the many forms of life. In fact, he was lamenting that he knew so very little about biology that he was afraid that his vision was too limited. I think about that every time I read an article like this. No matter what I can come up with, nature has beaten me to the punch.

Hope it inspires y’all a bit.

Okay, how can this be fun?

Easy, when it’s the Earth Impact Effects Program! This webpage calculates the damage that a hypothetical impact object would inflict on the Earth. Frankly, the physics have always been beyond me, but it looks cool. In a total annihilation sort of way, that is.
Seriously, I’m one of those geeky writer guys who always wants to know this kind of stuff, so I figured that I’m not the only one!

It’s Friday, go have fun blowing up the Earth!
