Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog

I’m a bit late to the game, I know. I missed — or rather, chose not watch — Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog when it first went up on YouTube. Instead, I Netflixed it this weekend, and boy was it worth the wait. Very funny. Very catchy tunes. And for those of you fans who haven’t [...]

Molly Lewis

I have accomplished naught today.

Mythbusters on Late Night

So, I haven’t yet watched any episodes of Late Night with Craig Ferguson. Late night TV is not for me, and hasn’t been for many years. But, I saw this YouTube clip of Adam and Jamie with Ferguson and thought I would share it. It’s chuckle worthy at the least.

The Corps is Father, the Corps is Mother…

From Wikipedia:
Top Secret Drum Corps is a precision drum corps based in Basel, Switzerland. With 25 drummers and colorguard members, the corps became famous for its demanding six-minute routine performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2003. With its invitation to Edinburgh, Top Secret became one of the first non-military, non-British Commonwealth acts to perform on [...]

Placebo, you know.

Here is an interesting and short article by Steven Novella on “the” placebo effect. It’s in response to a recent New Scientist article about spinal cord measurements and the analgesic placebo effect.
In summary, there is often confusion among lay people (and scientists, to a lesser extent) about “the” placebo effect. In essence, there are more [...]
