http://twitter.com/fart The vanity and greed of some people never ceases to disgust me. Above is a screenshot of the contents of the link at the beginning of the post; it’s a compilation of tweets depicting the very worst humanity has to offer, especially considering it being Christmas.

Shades of Grey
This is an essay that I wrote for my Comp. class that examines and discusses the moral values of the characters within the graphic novel, Watchmen, as well as how these morals might affect the popularity of the novel itself.

We’re never really quite sure of something until we experience it for ourselves. I feel like that’s a pretty fair statement, if not obvious; we’re all told many things throughout our daily lives, so can anyone honestly say that his or her opinion has always been based upon the retrospect of his or her peers?

We finally found another ‘Earth.’ (<— link) An artist’s concept of Kepler-22b, a roughly Earth-size world orbiting within the habitable zone of a sun-like star 600 light years from Earth. 600 light-years? Well, our fastest spacecraft travels at about 5 m/s (18,000mph), while light travels at a speed of 186,000 m/s (669,600,000mph), which is about 37,200x...
