i was rummaging through the cabinets looking for something edible and i found this tastey treat...looks good.

Hi All, Just wanted to take a moment to introduce you to our radio show “This Week in Science”. This Week in Science (TWIS) is a humorous and irreverent look at the week in science and technology news. Each week TWIS discusses the latest events in science and technology in a way that is entertaining yet extremely informative. The show is hosted by Kirsten Sanford, a PhD candidate in neuroscience; and Justin Jackson, a smart-alek part-time washing machine salesman & full-time quantum physics aficionado. TWIS has been radio broadcasting for over five years on KDVS 90.3 FM at the University of California, Davis. The show is also available online via arch…

Pinhole cameras work using a box with a pinhole in one end You can then see what is in front of the box by light cast onto the back of the box. Pinhole cameras dont have lenses My invention is a pinhole camera with these diffrances The box would be make of lead. The back of the inside of the box would contain a grid of sensors. The back of the outside of the box would hold a screen Each sensor's output is then conected to a pixel of the screen. The sensors could be for detecting input from a cirtain electromagnetic frequency or range. I know the sun produces all sorts of frequancys (including light) Some of those get though our atmosphere Some of…

I haven't heard from him in awhile. I kinda miss his interesting retorts. Is he ok? Bettina

Think about it: if there are some innovative robot devices who are able to perform the task of cleaning house, those servants or janitors will possibly be replaced (which means they will be jobless). For example, you just need to type what particular area place of certain place you want the robot to clean, and it will automatically clean up for you. If this kind of trend gets more and more, does that mean those servants or janitors who are without any school degree will meed their worst hardship in their lives?

What is the stupidest, most unlikely, needlessly complicated and generaly crazy conspiracy theory that you can think of? Here's some pretty tame ideas, see if you can beat them. The little flakes in blue toothpaste that get called whitening strips don't actually whiten the teeth but emmit a telephathic signal of whiteness. House and street names are part of an incredibly complicated mechanism for portraying directions for spies/aliens/goverment-people to get to a series of super secret research facilities. The number 666 is a key left by acient Egyptions to get into a large underground city known as Hell which is actually a really cool place, with clean water, free ho…

Any ideas?

do you like pulp in your orange juice? we asked people at the fair, and only 5 people liked pulp in their orange juice.

Everyone needs to use the link in my signature and find and post there geek code

Welcome to the world of science, anything against evolution is an ennemie. An IQ test and personality test are a good idea to start in science since it is a large field.

I am new at sciences and physics, so please bear with me. I would like to know how fast air would have to travel at normal atmospheric pressure to create heat. I cannot find the answer anywhere.

whos ur favorite band or guitar player!?!?!

Hello. I have developed a system to remote control something over the Internet at my university LTH in Lund, Sweden. So I made a prototype 2 as a battle tank. It is a model of a Stuart M5 Tank with a paintballkanon, laserdoomweapen and red dot aim. You can look at some pictures and movies here. http://www.gamereality.se/images/spegelbild.JPG http://www.gamereality.se/images/spegelbild2.JPG http://www.gamereality.se/images/spegelbild3.JPG http://www.gamereality.se/images/Bild(1).JPG http://www.gamereality.se/images/frm00004.jpg http://hem.passagen.se/gamereality/Klipp1.wmv http://hem.passagen.se/gamereality/Klipp2.wmv …

yay, back in the states and bored.

is it just me or is this summer way slower in posting than last summer. maybe everyone actually got lives this year.

this is the place to post all of your stick figure animations here are a few of mine: and these ones are from a friend of mine: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/stickfigure.html is where i got the program to make stick figure animations

I'm planning to buy a new graphing calculator for college work (I'm majoring in physics.) I was wondering if anyone had any tips on which one to go for.

Consider the possibility of genetically crossing a plant such as a weed, which naturally grows everywhere it can, and an edible vegetable such as spinach or romaine lettuce. With the desired result being a delicious and edible vegetable that grows everywhere naturally. I will pass this idea on to as many involved in genetic science as I can. Thank you Lee Fernandes

http://www.alexchiu.com/ This guy. to put it blatantly, is a complete and utter moron. It kept me entertained for quite a while. He also has another site. http://www.superiching.com I hope you get as good a laugh as I had. He rates himself among Einstein, Tesla, and Edison. EDIT: His "philosophy" section is great.

I keep wondering why we haven't gotten an earful from the end-of-the-world crowd about Deep Impact. Are they still hanging their heads in shame about the Millenium Bug, or are they all too busy preparing for Peak Oil now?!

After making some research I came to those conclusions: Science can be a religion if I tell you what my definition of "religion" is. For a complete definition of "Religion" see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/davepriority/

Ok, I just had one of the most creepy yet facinating experiences of my life. I live in Florida and American Cockroaches are everywhere. They are giant roaches "reported up to 3 inches" that can FLY! I spot one of these in my room on the floor and crush it with my can of turtle food. I used a single bludgeoning strike with decent force then twisted the can until i heard a crunching noise. I lift up the can and there was no guts or anything. He was still pretty much in tact and rose a little as the carpet rose from being pushed down by the can but wasnt moving at all. That should give you an idea of the force I used. I left the room because I was on my way outside to smoke …

My problem is that I am new to science and I am alone, I have been confused and fooled by many religions. I choosed to turn to science and to forget about the other religions Tell me what are the priorities areas of science that I need to go.

Yesterday I met Richard Batty for the 1`st time, had a good chat and watched some home videos of past experiments etc... it was a Very Nice meeting I`ll post the Pic when I get my cam server working again. has anyone else ever met another SFN member here, as a result of SFN? it doesn`t count if you knew each other BEFORE you came here.
