korrawarriorprincess asked: "Giant Baby Attack," September 10th, 2010. 2:33. Hank. Tell us the joke. We've all grown, we've all matured. Tell us the joke.

I honestly don’t remember what it was. I do, however, remember that it was very dirty.

leaveliestotheliars asked: What exactly is fire? It's not a solid, liquid or gas... right? So... is it a fourth state all on its own?

Alas, no. Just like the light coming from the sun isn’t matter, the light coming from fire isn’t matter. It’s energy. But where is the light coming from? Lots of little tiny pieces of ash and carbon that are so hot they’re glowing. So, actually, what we see as fire is a solid…just very tiny, floating solids.

Russell Brand Destroys MSNBC Talk Show Host for Treating Him Like Shit

“Casual objectification” is an excellent term for not only what these people were doing to him, but for pretty much the entire institution of “celebrity.” 

Also, Russell Brand is very funny. These people have no idea how to handle intelligent discourse blended with humor. They are speaking very different cultural languages. It’s a fascinating thing to watch.

The average Nerdfighter spends five times less time watching TV than the average American.

The Brain Scoop: Episode 29
Chicago Adventure, Part III: Little Skeletons

Our third installment in the Chicago Field Museum adventures! In this episode, Andria blows my mind with some pretty impressive lettering skills, and we talk about a mammal with some of the most highly specialized teeth of any animal on the planet: the crabeater seal (it doesn’t actually eat crabs). 

Watch Part I and Part II! 

Emily actually brought in a crab-eater seal skull to an episode of SciShow Talk Show, so as soon as he started talking about a weird seal I was like “Oh, Emily’s gonna be all over this…”

So today, Emily Graslie & I went up to Flathead Lake. It was my first time visiting it, and we saw a snake. So all in all, a good day.

7.5% of Nerdfighters smoke pot. That’s roughly half the U.S. national average.
