Here’s How Starfleet Punishes Those Pesky Prime Directive Violations

If The Rumors Are True, Star Wars: Episode VII Is Weirder Than Expected

Badass Digest claims to have details about the plot of Episode VII, and, if true, it’s going to have a ridiculous MacGuffin. So, spoilers if you chose to read on.

If The X-Files Had Been Set in College, Not Much Would Have Changed

Artist Jena Young captioned this “Hey Scully, wanna break into the dean’s office?” And the answer is probably a long-suffering “Yes.” Followed by Mulder getting caught and Scully having to bail him out. What’s the college equivalent of dropping your gun? This piece also reminds me that Gillian Anderson was voted “Most Likely to Get…

On Witches of East End, They Kill Blackmailers With Lightning Fists

Hilariously Useless Comments About Science from the US Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court is not composed of scientists. We’ve seen this before. But they do end up hearing a lot of cases that involve science, and are forced to describe the concepts and technology before them. They do not always rise to the challenge.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Fight Over Star Wars, Everybody Wins
