On Venus Our Voices Would Sound Like “BASS SMURFS”, Awesome.
Here’s a tidbit upside your head. Professor Tim Leighton and a crack squad at the University of Southampton have calculated what we would sound like on different planets. Provided, you know, we could speak on them. What they’ve found is that humans’ voices would be so alien to us that we’d look physically different.
Ancient SOUND WAVES Sculpted Galaxy Formation. That’s Rockin’ Hard, Yo.
Galactic formation back in the day is the result of sound waves. Sound waves! What the fuck. Now there’s something I hadn’t thought of when it came to how the Universe formed. However, usually when I think about the Universe forming I end up picturing (invariably) the Multiverse and then I’m onto imagining myself in present day riding a T. Rex with Jesus to the Drive Thru at Taco Bell.
The April Fools Day Asteroid Came Closer Than F**king Expected
Did you know about the April Fools Day asteroid? I sure as fuck didn’t. I didn’t know about it when it was considered no big fucking deal, and I doubly didn’t know about it yesterday when it passed far closer than anticipated.
Newly Discovered EXOPLANETS Are 13 Billion Years-Old. Big Bang Levels Of Old.
A mere 375 light-years away lurks the star HIP 11952 and its two planets. These days exoplanets are a dime a goddamn dozen, but these two are a bit on the special tip. Using their brain-cannons to calculate and tabulate, people smarter than me have dated these two pigs at nearly the same age as the Big Bang.

Every sci-fi geek has at some point contemplate the idea that life on Earth was brought to the Blue Marble by some outside force. Be it Martians or mayhem. Now there’s new evidence to support the idea that a comet got this whole funny fucking thing called human existence started.
MERCURY Got Itself Some MYSTERIOUS HOLLOWS. Snape Snickers.
The fun thing about all the bullsquash that NASA is launching into orbit is that not only is it helping the Space Brains of the Blue Marble figure things out, its also raising new questions as well. For what is the imagination for, if it has no room left to guess with? What the fuck…? Anyways, yeah! NASA’s MESSENGER turned up some unexpected hollows on the surface of Mercury.
Evidence For WATER Flowing On Surface Of MARS Continues. Spacegasm Ahoy.
The Martian Chronicles was actually a future divined by Rad Bradbury. Such a future will soon come to pass, as evidence for flowing water on the surface of Mars refuses to go away. So say we all! Or something.
James Cameron Goes Underwater, Reaches DEEPEST SPOT ON Earth
James Cameron don’t give no fucks about a variety of things, including character depth, being condemned for postulating the typical idea that a white man has to save the savages from themselves, titties on Titanics, and more. He also doesn’t give a fuck about the ocean, ’cause he’s gone and conquered it.
