The amazing Terminator rip-off from the makers of The Apple

The Apple is famous as one of the worst movies of all time — a cult classic about a dystopian future in which disco-fascism rules the world. But the final collaboration from Golan-Globus Pictures also deserves some respect: American Cyborg: Steel Warrior is truly an unforgettable film. Here’s a snippet of the film’s climax, in…

The truth about why things smell bad: Vibrating molecules

For over a century, our sense of smell has been explained with the “lock and key” hypothesis, which holds that each odor molecule has a particular shape that allows it to fit into particular smell receptors in the nose.

Why Fritz Leiber is the least-known science fiction author you need to know

I’ll admit it: I’m obsessed with Fritz Leiber’s novel Our Lady of Darkness. It’s pretty much the best book I’ve ever read about my hometown, San Francisco – but it’s also just a great work of urban fantasy that seamlessly blends sexually liberated 1970s California with ancient forces of darkness drawn from pulp fiction. Lieber’s…

The Unsung Hero Who Discovered The Double Helix

It’s commonly believed that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix shape of DNA.

Local news report claims the government is controlling weather using airplanes

For some strange reason, CBS News Atlanta decided to do some hard-hitting investigative reporting on that old hat conspiracy notion of chemtrails, a.k.a. the sinister version of contrails, or those jet trails that can be seen following your average airliner.

Animals who live fast and die young could be the key to human life extension

Humans age very slowly, but the older we get, the more likely death gets. Not every animal follows that pattern though – some species live for only very short periods, but their age doesn’t actually seem to affect when they die. Figuring out why these animals age the way they do could help us understand…
