Food Court Musical: this is definitely one of their best scenes, but I think that was because it was staged with the mall’s complicity.

Chinese MC Hammer: ho hum about the actual video and the move-by-move imitation. What really gets me is the knitting lady in the background, apparently oblivious to the goings-on. {via}

“Why Can’t a Woman Be More Like a Man?”: excellent article on gender bias in the sciences in academia. It shows the frightening attack to impose Title IX on science and engineering in higher education. The obvious agenda behind this is absolutely sickening.

Amusing Tidbits From Warren Buffet and The Berkshire Hathaway Annual Report: here’s the original if you’re so inclined.

Physics Limericks: quite the collection. Reminds me of the only science-related limerick I know (told to me by my high school chemistry teacher, Mr. Rickard):

Little Johnny took a drink.
Little Johhny is no more.
For what he thought was H2O
Was H2SO4.
