Alien Boardroom Suggestion
I usually post funny stuff on my humor blog, but I thought this particular version of the boardroom suggestion comic/meme fit in here.

Can anything go faster than the speed of light?
Apparently MSNBC thinks Felix Baumgartner can!
Obviously it was a mistake. Baumgartner only broke the speed of sound when he jumped from a balloon 24 miles above earth. Still a pretty impressive feat considering he broke the speed of sound without being in a jet. So the laws of physics are still intact...no one has broken the speed of light. At least not yet. :)
If you missed the jump or want to see it again, the video is below.

Just some humor
I saw this and thought it was amusing.
Made me wonder...if someone found that and didn't know what it was...what might they think it is? Something to tie a rope through? A faceplate for some kind of small figurine? Would it ever occur to them that it was used to play recorded music? Probably depends on who found it and when they found it. Hopefully they would know what it is though!
I also saw this comic and thought it was amusing.
Ha! Imagine if there were people up there just playing a big joke on us!

Chupacabra vaccinations
Ever wanted to see a chupacabra? Maybe you should stake out this veterinary clinic and see if any chupacabra owners bring one in for a vaccination!

Putting science to a beat
Have you ever thought that science could be more entertaining if you could just get Morgan Freeman and some celebrity scientists together with a beat and Autotune?
Well, someone has now done that.

Skepticism versus Science Video
A somewhat humorous video I found. I think it sums up the difference between science and skepticism fairly accurately though.
H/T
One commenter on the blog I found this video on said, "In my scorecard, the male was practicing what I call 'lazy skepticism'.The flip side of lazy skepticism is believing something to be scientific simply because an authority figure claims that it's scientific."
I tend to agree with that statement!

A couple of odd Google search phrases
I like to look at the visitor statistics for my blog sometimes and see what keywords people used when they find my blog via Google. Most of the keywords used to find my blog make sense. One of the most visited posts I have had recently was my post about Zahi Hawass' TV show. That post comes up high on the listings for search phrases like 'zahi hawass reality show' (as of the time of this posting anyways).
Given the topic and title of that post, I can understand why that post would show up in the Google results for that keyword search, and I don't think it's odd that someone would be doing a search using that phrase.
But a couple of other search phrases that people have been using recently are a little odd and somewhat amusing to me.
For example, sometimes my post about the TV show Pawn Stars gets hits from people using search phrases like 'is richard harrison of pawn stars jewish' (or other similar variations of that). I've seen that search or a variant of it come up numerous times. The word 'Jewish' doesn't even show up my post about Pawn Stars, but that post comes up in Google search results for that phrase because I have 'Jewish history' listed as an interest of mine in the About me section on my page. So because Google sees 'pawn stars' and 'Jewish' on the same page, my post shows up high on the listings for those search terms.
What I don't get is why so many people have been searching for that. I don't know why they even care. But for what it's worth, I don't know if the pawn stars are Jewish or not. I don't know what religion they are or if they even have any religion. Now, if anyone does another search using that phrase, I wonder if this post will come up higher in the listings than my Pawn Stars post.
Another search phrase people have found my blog with recently is 'rough talk him and run him off' (or similar variants). It leads them to my post titled Rough Talk and Big Stick. The post includes a video of a man who claimed to see a Bigfoot in North Carolina and said he "rough talked him and runned him off." I understand why someone would find my post using those search terms, but it's just funny to me that so many people have been searching for that phrase.

Moon Buggy Repair: One of the many uses for duct tape
I've heard jokes before about different things duct tape could be used for, but I didn't know one of those uses was moon buggy repair, and yes, I do mean the kind of moon buggy that astronauts would use on the moon.
Back in 1972, astronauts Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt landed on the moon in a mountain-ringed valley named Taurus-Littrow. At one point during their mission, part of a fender was accidentally torn off when Cernan brushed up against it and a hammer in his shin pocket caught it. And apparently, a moon buggy with a missing fender can create a big problem when you're driving it on the moon.
According to NASA, here is why:
The reason is moondust. When a rover rolls across the lunar surface, it kicks up a plume of moondust in its wake. (Astronauts called them "rooster tails.") Without a fender, the rover would be showered by a spray of dark, abrasive grit. White spacesuits blackened by dust could turn into dangerous absorbers of the fierce lunar sun with astronauts overheating inside. Sharp-edged dust wiped off visors would scratch the glass, making helmets difficult to see out of. Moondust also had an uncanny way of working itself into hinges, latches and joints, rendering them useless.
The solution? Duct tape!
