Beautiful Radioactive Ghosts
July 3rd, 2009



So these scientists at Penn State have spent the last 12 months incubating an unusual bacteria found in Greenland…
frozen deep within a glacier for a hundred thousand years…
Cue, plague of zombies.
Fortunately, they aren’t the bleeding from the eyes, coughing up your organs sort. The little chaps have been named Herminiimonas Glaciei and are just the fourth in the rather small group of ultramicrobacterium…
”You know you’re doing real science when the words are too big to fit on a scrabble board. These itty-bitty organisms are small enough to pass through sterile filters usually used to purify water and, by the way, they all live in water. None are even remotely pathogenic (so there’s no risk of sickness) but expect a scare-story pandemic when mainstream media eventually notices they exist.”

Here’s a few nice animations…

Check out Pat’s other figure animations too…
That is all.
Nothing is as awesome as a freaking massive robot…

You can find it in Odaiba, Japan. (obviously)
”Easily the most cool thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. If you can, at all, you MUST go see this in person before they take it down on the 31st of August.”

”No Lego news?” inquired the curious congregation…
Well, Lego has just released this Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser but it costs like £100…
This Magnum PI mash up is excellent…
Check out a side by side comparison to see how well made it is…
and it turns out R2D2 looks pretty good pre-paint job…

That is all.
