thezI thought I'd share what I have up as my desktop wallpaper right now, because I can't stop looking at the lights of Planet Earth as seen from space (thank you, NASA). That's what "6 billion people" looks like from space. For extra-nerdy fun, locate the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Nile River. HINT: it is not that hard.
I will never be able to delete my bookmark for this article. I just can't do it. Nothing puts a smile on my face like the thought of injecting people with life-saving radioactive scorpion venom. I mean, honestly. LIFE-SAVING RADIOACTIVE SCORPION VENOM. I love you, science.
A comic that made me smile, and will make other math geeks smile: Because that is exactly what I said when I learned of that bizarro equation (though it might have been "Are you fucking with me?"). EVEN BETTER IN THIS FORM: eπi+1=0 "Finally, an equation that contains the five most important prime numbers!" Me: "YEAH! ...WHY DO WE NEED ONE?"
