John Hodgman: Aliens, love -- where are they? |... →
Lovers of Luc Besson;
I hope you can appreciate that I’m sitting in my new apartment eating canned ravioli.
Straight out of the can, nonetheless.
I have this amazing, equally hated, equally admired, biochemistry teacher that just went over the coagulation cascade with us in under 45 minutes.
I’m seriously considering reviewing everything I learn here every day so I’ll have the shadow of a chance to eventually memorize it.
Oh god, I’m thinking of starting a science blog.
It’s official.
I can’t use my oven and my stove at the same time. As soon as I do, half my apartment goes dark.
I’m supposed to accumulate experience in my life to help me through the rest of it, but will this knowledge really be that necessary?
Don’t answer that.
WatchYes. You can take anything and make it geeky.
You ever been trying to cram half a year’s worth of lectures and seminars into your head for an exam you have in two days and suddenly realize you’ve been looping R.E.M.’s It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) over and over in your head?

I did it properly even - I laid up my contact information on my “wall” for all my “friends” to see and asked them to take it down if they needed it since I would quit as of the seventh of January.

And if trying to appear less stupid than I am makes me stupid I don’t know what else to do than just stop giving a shit.
Welcome to...

tumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?
20 minutes.
That’s how long it takes for anyone to notice a coin worth about 15 cent (USD) or 10 cent (EUR) lying on the ground on the subway station during rush hour.
During this time, two persons kicked it without noticing.
There are four types of cells in your retina
One of them detects faint traces of light and does not distinguish between wavelenghts. The other three respond to wavelenghts of light within 400-500 nm, 450-630 nm, 500-700 nm which translated into colour is blue, green and red.
Molecules called chromophores act as light detectors. When photons of the correct wavelenght hits the right chromophore, it breaks up one of the double bonds present...
