Humans like to think we are the workers of the world and it all relies upon us, but without these little creatures, life as we know it wouldn't exist. This little bee is just off to work for the day—one of thousands of flowers he'll visit before sundown.

Do you have any idea how many words we haven't been saying since 1972? No, no one does, because some asshole editor went on a crazy deleting spree a couple decades ago while editing the Oxford English Dictionary: the one dictionary from which words are, supposedly, never deleted.

As discussed in a previous tidbit, people are over-confident in their abilities for many reasons. Here's an example...

As we approach the holiday (i.e. gift-giving) season, don't forget to make sure to include the usual notes in your gifts indicating that they can be returned. Otherwise, you'll just cause the recipients to save your gifts until they can be properly regifted onto some other ungrateful chump.

There are two sets of baseball cards:

I have lived in china for 9 years now. I have lived in Shanghai and Hongkong. To me, I think Shanghai and Hong Kong are both very diverse places. Shanghai and Hong Kong have definitely modernized over the years and they are filled with people. Shanghai has been rapidly modernizing as a while back when I came to Shanghai, it wasn't as modern and there weren't as many people. When I came back, it was packed with people. Many young people here go to the clubs and shop along the road sides. The...

I just returned from a trip overseas and I came across this great article over at The Chronicles of Harriet about the role of black men in the evolution of Dandyism.

Ever since the mid-2000s, there's been a lot of bandying back and forth on the Internet over what exactly Steampunk is. Some people think it's one thing, others another thing, and some think that it shouldn't be defined at all.

According to special relativity, if a twin leaves earth in a high-speed rocket, goes out into space, and then returns to earth, he will return younger than his twin who stays home.

Remember Dan White's "Twinkie defense" in 1979? Well it turns out that the the ability to convert food into glucose is correlated with the ability to control oneself.

Constructive social interaction depends upon recognizing those one is interacting with. Not surprisingly, then, we have a section of our cortex devoted to facial recognition. But we're not the only ones.

Just wanted to share my latest new nail polish with all nail lovers in this video of mine! This is just a casual video for fun sake and is NOT a how to tutorial :-)

It takes roughly 500 gallons of water to produce a quarter pound hamburger, and in the process, approximately six pounds of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere.

First, we need the wood. Timber should be made ??of soft rock. Engaged in the manufacture of coal preferably in the spring because the wood at this time of the year has the least amount of salt and therefore it is a more quality coal. Softwood is alder buckthorn. Next we have to chop our wood into small pegs. The further process is shown in the video. All good luck :)

Notch loves Halloween. He must, because he keeps putting scarier and scarier things into Minecraft around Halloween time!

The tragedy of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire repeated itself. Over 25 Bangladeshi workers died in a sweatshop who sewed clothes for JC Penney, Target, Abercrombie and Fitch, and many more. Check out the link.

When subjects are asked to watch a movie and not display emotions (say, a comedy without laughing, or a tearjerker without crying), they evidently use up glucose in particular areas of their brain in a way that subjects who are free to react however they want do not.

Take a walk on the wild side at La Pointe de La Torche, France, where powerful winds and waves draw surfers from all over the world. The rugged beach is located on the edge of northwestern France, in Brittany, where the Bay of Audierne opens to the Atlantic.

Is "Last Resort" Steampunk? Well, no. I mean, how could it be?

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that motivates us to engage in rewarding activities such as eating and sex. Animals without dopamine stop eating and starve to death.

I came across this leg piece on the internet made by Skinz-N-Hydez and I just had to share it. I see a lot of steampunk arms on the internet, but I don't often see legs. This one is really well done, and I love the construction and design.

While this is pretty out of the way for people who don't live in Poland, this restaurant, Wodna Wieza, is really gorgeous!

Since it's October and Halloween is fast approaching, it's time for a series of articles on how to make the coolest Steampunk Halloween decorations for your home! In this installment, we'll look at some jack-o'-lanterns, skulls, and a few other things that are easy to Steampunk, but will still keep that "spooky" Halloween feeling.

Michael Faraday was awesome. He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis, and he invented the Bunsen burner (before it was the Bunsen burner). Because of his work, we can make suits that can withstand 1,000,000 volts of electricity and cases to protect our gadgets from nuclear attacks.

For those who don't know, LEGO recently came out with a new line called Monster Fighters. This set is about fighting monsters, sure, but it's about fighting classic monsters in a Steampunk universe. Just look at this promotional picture from the LEGO site:

This ex-mortuary would make a fantastic setting for a steampunk short film or photoshoot, if the crew could avoid any ghosts that might be in the area.

The trailer for the new Bioshock game, Bioshock Infinite, takes the series away from its dieselpunk roots and into the realm of steampunk.

In an office area, there is a coffee machine and a jar in which peopleare asked to put voluntary contributions for the coffee they consume.

This clock is amazing, and I think I really need one. I wonder how hard it would be to just make one. It doesn't look that difficult in concept, at least. Might be tricky to get the timing right, though.

I saw this on the internet the other day, and I thought it was great. I think I remember someone making a steampunk pumpkin sculpture a few years ago, but I really loved this one!
