ATTACK of the Giant Molecule!


Everyone knows that Belgians make the world's best chocolate, fries, waffles and beer.

But they also make giant molecules of iron crystal magnified to 165 billion times their normal size like it was nobody's business!

The Atomium (I dare you NOT to have the Robbie Williams song Millenium in your head when saying this word) was built for the 1958 Brussels World Fair, and you can visit several of the nine spheres via a set of escalators and stairs inside the arms that connect the spheres... check the photo album to see! Quite incredible!

Lime + Pussy = BAAAD!!


As I was preparing the following blog post about lime juice as a potential microbicide, I came across this image. I was just looking for a lime image, but when I saw this one, I immediately thought: lime + pussy = BAD!

Perfect for an article that cautions against the use of lime juice as a potential microbicide! Regrettably, the image is too likely to ellicit reactions from the authors of the article I highlighted and from other readers who might catch the connotation.

So I give it to you here to enjoy!!
