“Basically, our observable universe begins around 13.7 billion years ago in a state of exquisite order, exquisitely low entropy. It’s like the universe is a wind-up toy that has been sort of puttering along for the last 13.7 billion years and will eventually wind down to nothing. But why was it ever wound up in the first place? Why was it in such a weird low-entropy unusual state? That is what I’m trying to tackle. I’m trying to understand cosmology, why the Big Bang had the properties it did. And it’s interesting to think that connects directly to our kitchens and how we can make eggs, how we can remember one direction of time, why causes precede effects, why we are born young and grow older. It’s all because of entropy increasing. It’s all because of conditions of the Big Bang.”

Take this as a reference for later in case you need to defend cosmology - scrambled eggs. Great read.

weselec:

The Neumann Monaural Butt (Mechanischerektumohr), designed to record sound waves exactly as they would be perceived inside the human asshole, thereby allowing the listener to experience audio as if their head were actually embedded in their rectum. Revolutionary technology in the 1960s.

FINALLY.

Morning-LOL.

nickkroll:

Someone put took this audio clip from Scott Aukerman’s awesome Comedy Death Ray Radio podcast and put it on youtube. Its one of Bobby Bottlerservice’s first public appearances. Besides Scott, the other person talking is terribly unfunny and unattractive Jon Hamm.

Kinda FUNNY!

Sure, you can shorten your URLs, but that just leaves them mildly cryptic and foreboding. Use ShadyURL to make your URLs downright alarming.

Just check it out at http://5z8.info/trojan_r8r5_open.exe

Shortener are silly anyway, so why not up the ante.
