Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Heh heh - true under maritime law your vessel may be subject to safety inspection at any time.

- Its been 15-years since Firefly was cancelled.

- Interesting - the Higgs boson and the top quark finally spotted together during experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.

- Speaking of quantum physics - it seems the more we learn the more we understand how little we know. I think the human race is far from an understanding of how things actually work.

- Heh heh - Jets rookie QB Sam Darnold is the new Chuck Norris. Maybe Sam Darnold can explain how string theory works?

- Reminder that the secret to financial success isn't rocket science (or quantum physics)

- Impressive - maybe Tesla really is a battery company that also sells cars.

The Scream sells for $120 million. Did not know there were 4 copies of this painting. This was not the one that was stolen a couple of years ago.

I love science questions like this. What would happen if you placed your hand in the way of the Large Hadron Collider?

Very interesting look at some old-timey sportswriters who called themselves "the Chipmunks". This was the sort of think I hoped Grantland would be putting out.

In depth story of Joss Whedon and how he came to helm the new Avengers movie. Good read.
