The best I can tell is that this is the original article about the translucent goldfish that was artificially selected for it's lack of pigment:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1239358/The-goldfish-Japanese-scientists-develop-fish-hearts-brains-seen-translucent-skin.html

All of the other articles about it are either direct copies of this one or paraphrasing.

I want the paper these groups published on the fish. I cannot find it. Any help? Thanks.

I am pretty sure this is the guy, but none of the papers are about this fish.

Laura Petrie, *Yes*!

NOTES: That rec-room pool table was NASTY. Actually, pretty much anything in any dorm room basement was considered fair game for hanky panky. Gross...

Okay, so I'm leaving for Stony later today, (though I've been making tentative plans with people during the week itself), so expect some moving to start happening on thursday at noonish. I'll be on the Island from tuesday night TO perhaps the next tuesday, if we don't get the moving done, at the latest. The quicker we get the job of unpacking complete, the sooner the world can rejoice.

There's a lot that needs to get done.

Note: It may happen even on wednesday, but i imagine the fact that I'm alerting you now may probably prevent that from happening. Either way, there's a good chance that I may meet up with someone for the day instead. But let me know if wednesday works for you.

ALSO let me know if you're going to show up for a day.

Be ready to do work.

and of course, if you guys wanna do something during the weekend/any night of the moving, i really encourage that, since i'm going to be going to a danky little apartment in west all by my lonesome. ;_;

maybe fnm?

I recently had a chance to see Joel Hodgson's latest venture, Cinematic Titanic, give a special live performance for New Year's Eve. As part of the promotional blitz, Joel became available for interviews and I was lucky enough to get one with him!

An Interview with MST3k and Cinematic Titanic's Joel Hodgson

In it he discusses fandom cons, weird things he got sent to him while doing the show, how Cinematic Titanic formed, and what recent movie he thought was a "hack job."

Enjoy!

P.S. The Cinematic Titanic show was GREAT and I highly recommend trying to catch one of their performances.

If you find yourself at the crossroads of insomnia and insanity, this is the place to channel those demons that keep you sleepless. Vivid pictures, poetry, ruminations, and confessions from the nether hours between dusk and dawn. Originally formed to celebrate the city at night, there's a strong urban theme.

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)

We have two kids ages 6 and 8. They've heard us talking about "Misty" (="MST") and our son (the 6yo) did see the Hot Slot Bots car race between Crow and Tom somehow. For the most part, we haven't run these in front of the kids because they can have adult concepts. It's one thing to explain a joke, it's another thing to explain Joel's drug jokes or any of the more adult entendres.

However, the kids have asked if there's a MST they can watch. They're smart kids, but we understand that MST requires a lot of cultural knowledge, and at this age, wedgie jokes are high humor. That's OK by us, we figure we'll just hit Pause a lot to explain the jokes. But it would be good if we didn't have too much drug/adult humor to have to explain to the under-10 set.

My first thought was some of the fantasy movies like Magic Sword or The Day the Earth Froze. However, maybe some of the shorts would be OK too, and quicker to sit through.

What would be good choices for this situation? Or would it be better to tell them "Sorry, you'll have to wait until you're older"?

How many geeks does it take to screw in a light bulb?

"Our Job... spray talc on that man's butt."

Wow, that was the most nothing that has ever happened.

So the new Photoshop Phriday (SomethingAwful.com) post is on KFC sign letterboards and this one made me LOL!

Okay, it is obvious all of us here don't believe in creationism. So that poses the question, What or how do you believe the earth/universe was created?

I'm working on an article on just such a subject and I'm hoping it to be extensive and would like some input.

I must confess I do not believe in the Big Bang, I view it as a patchwork theory with many problems despite its popularity. However, I'm curious to other thoughts out there. Do you believe in a conventional theory or do you have your own idea? If so, what is it?

PS: Forgive me if these as been posted in the past, I confess I didn't check.

"And just look at that drawer..."
"I've rummaged through it."

"The fun never stops when you're clean and tidy!"

The CT live 3 movie marathon was possibly the best event I have ever attended. We made it from 8-1:45 without passing out.

"He should put his head in the horse's bed."

So, a few days ago during a horrible cold snap (understatement--it was a freaking blizzard), my father wanted to make some nice and hearty soup. Good on a cold day. He had the soup ready, but when he went to the cabinet, he made a horrifying discovery. There were no crackers!

He became quite agitated. He kept asking everybody in the house if they were positive that there were no crackers--he even asked my mother if she had remembered to buy him some crackers. She had not--he had not written them on the pad by the fridge. He was most displeased about the lack of crackers.

What makes this awesome? My father's name is Steve. I was laughing so hard.

And even better--I found some crackers. So Steve had crackers.



To anyone who hasn't seen the episode, that is almost directly from "The Incredible Melting Man".

"This would turn K.D. Lang hetero."

"Cafeteria ladies on their off hours."

"Guess if you were a gay guy who liked truckers you'd find these ladies attractive."

"Strut, pout, put it out, it's what you want from grandma."

So, in this new year will kids become gay agents?

does Santa mistake?
