おっと!, 私は私の最初の「blogoversary」を逃したように見える! 月曜日21日は私のブログのために1年間の転換点となった; と私はあなたのすべてに私のとりとめの一部を共有して、昨年費やしていることが信じられないほどうれしい. I’ve somewhat lost track of how many hits I’ve had since I moved everything over to The Southern Fried Science Network, but it’s more than I ever could have ever imagined as a newbie blogger twelve months ago. When I look over the last year a few posts come to mind as my favorite:
あなたはヨロで住んでいることが起こる場合, ソラノまたはサクラメント郡はあなたがネットで出かけなければならない. 博士. Art Shaprio has offered for the 40th year hiscabbage white butterfly competition. あなたが白キャベツをキャッチする非常に最初の人であれば (モンシロチョウ出 – invasive) before Dr. Shapiro he will buy you a pitcher of beer! You have to deliver the specimenaliveto the receptionist in the Department of Evolution and Ecology to confirm the identification (I assume to prove you didn’t just save last year’s dead butterfly and cheat).
Over the last 30 years the butterflies have been emerging earlier – two weeks on average now. You better hurry, the first cabbage white of 2010 was collected on January 27th.
私がやった, それはサラ·ペイリンによって書かれたように聞こえる. 実際に, 私はオーバーのこのメタ分析に出くわした 22,000 horoscopes over onInformation is Beautiful. それは壮観だ – しかし、私はここでいくつかのポイントを下に実行します:
これらのことから 22,000 星占いは、最も一般的な単語のチャートを来た (ボトム), 90% of which happen to be exactly the same regardless of your sign. David McCandless also generated a meta prediction using these most common words. It goes something like this.
“Ready? 確か? Whatever the situation or secret moment enjoy everything a lot. Feel able to absolutely care. Expect nothing else. Keep making love. Family and friends matter. The world is life, fun and energy. Maybe hard. Or easy. Taking exactly enough is best. Help and talk to others. Change your mind and a better mood comes along…“
Everyone, うまくいけば, should know that horoscopes and astrology have always been steaming piles. Seeing the data like this just makes it that much easier to laugh in the face of wackiness. I also love McCandless’s interpretation of star traits. I’m a “gemini” (or at least was), and the most common words for me are “party, stay, issues and listen certainly”. Interpreted as “emotionally disturbed party animal who never says no”. Love it.
You might have also heard recently about thescandalous storyof wrong star assignments. As it turns out our earth wobbles slightly in orbit; meaning the stars are not exactly where they are in the night sky tonight as they were a few millennia ago when the zodiac was first derived. So if the stars mold who you are at birth then they do so based on where they are now and not 2,000 years ago. Surprise – many people should now be assigned to a new sign! Oooohscandal! The science of astrology didn’t even come close to predicting this (it greatly pained me to even mockingly call astrology science). But that’s OK it won’t perturb them, they are well adapt at dodging hard science and spinning BS, and have been doing so for hundreds of years. 戻る 1781 astronomers threw a wrench at the heads of astrologers with the discovery of Uranus – and a generation later Neptune appeared on the scene. Oh don’t worry! Astrologers fudged their own numbers, whined about different “charts and systems” and snuck in two extra star signs to agree with the world as science understood it. ああ, and never mind the rest of the billion, billion stars and planets…
Yet, I can still hear a faint cry down the street here in Berkeley – someone slaps hand to head and exclaims “oh now it makes sense, I was a Taurusすべて along!”
You should go explore his blog and take a closer look at the analysis. いっそ, if you have a friend who loves their astrology, you should forward this in their direction.
