Psychics strike again!

A sad story has just made its way up from Belizethe American Crocodile Education Sanctuary has burned to the ground. At first glance this was merely an unfortunate report about a research and conservation facility that had been lost in a tragic fire. That, ach, is not the entire story. It turns . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Psychics strike again!

Skeptics in the Pup

Tonight, if you’re in San Francisco, you should make your way to Showdogs bar (near the SoMa) for skeptics in the pub with the honorable James Randi! I’ll be in attendance, along with a few fellow entomologist friends. Try this facebook linkbut if that fails, the event starts at 9pm.

Is ea, Ní mór Poblachtánaigh fuath liom Me Too.

Over on Myrmecos Alex Wild just brought to my attention a rather personal attack from a pair of republican senators (Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and John McCain, R-Ariz). Once again I started to comment, but given how close to home this hits, I felt a longer winded diatribe approaching

Apparently, my job is a giant waste . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Is ea, Ní mór Poblachtánaigh fuath liom Me Too.

Nuacht gan chiall, an uair seo ó Dúlra

Is gné nua é ó dheasc an Nature News a dhéanann machnamh ar dhomhan gan mosquitos (nó -toes). Conas atá an nuacht seo? B'fhéidir go bhfuil roinnt rialú veicteoireach nua ann nach mór dúinn go léir a chloisteáil! Bhuel, seiceáil an t-alt ón eagrán is déanaí de Nature dar teideal “Domhan gan mosquitoes“.

(Grinter) Ghost House

I’m back from the road with thousands of specimens, a little weary and ready to sit still for a bit. In all it was a wonderful tripbut I have lots and lots of processing to do. While I play catch-up, enjoy this clip. Ar feadh m'eolais, there is no direct relation. . . . → Leigh Nios mo: (Grinter) Ghost House

D'OH!

Ní féidir a fháil ar bhealach a nascadh leis an físeán díreach (ní fiú VodPod), ach anseo tá an nasc chuig an Taispeáin Daily láithreáin. Cé mhéad fisicithe tharraing a gcuid gruaige amach nuair a chuala siad an ceann seo? Yikes, tá sé an urlabhraí nuacheaptha. Ná bíodh imní ort Neil, nach bhfuil tú ag dul in áit ar bith tar éis an.

Cath Uphill

Má tá rud amháin gur fhoghlaim mé sa choláiste, bhí sé conas a distract go héasca féin. Claonadh agam a choinneáil ar mo teilifíse ar sa chúlra agus tá mé ag obair ar mo ríomhaire, go háirithe go déanach san oíche nuair a tá mé ag troid de ghnáth le cogadh a bhuaigh i gcoinne codlata.

Ní mór a bheith in aghaidh an lae nuachta mall…

Le Chóiré teetering ar an imeall le cogadh te, tubaiste éiceolaíoch ar comhréir bhfacthas riamh roimhe agus corraíl sibhialta i Iamáice (duine éigin harshed n-mellow) – díreach tar éis a ainm a lua de ceannlínte an lae inniu ó fhoinsí eile – Bíonn CNN an t-am a fluff suas a leathanach tosaigh.

How easy is it

to fake a UFO encounter? I recorded this video two years ago over the desert of Arizona. To confess, it made my heart skip a beat at first. I turned around and there were three glowing lights floating silently above me. I literally thought to myselfholy s#@% I don’t believe in this crap!”. An . . . → Leigh Nios mo: How easy is it

Get a Life, Discovery

I sat rapt in front of my TV on Sunday watching the latest installment of the BBC/Discovery seriesLife”. The first thing that comes to my mind… “WHY was Oprah chosen to narrate!?” Ar ndóigh, I waited for the insects special to air before I blogged about this, but having to listen to Oprah for the . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Get a Life, Discovery
