500 Million Years of Evolution in Under 4 Minutes
I had forgotten that the video for Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now” was essentially an evolutionary biology adventure tale.
Is it illegal to post this video on Daft Punk Day?

Sometimes I just need a little something extra to get excited about fish evolution before heading to the lab.
This is the only costume I want for my cat. He would look so natural on a bed of rice, he might as well be Don Cheadle.

What does Jurassic Park have to do with public lands? Quite a bit, actually…
Jurassic Park is based on paleontologist’s research analyzing fossils. Our extensive knowledge of dinosaurs wouldn’t be possible without this research, which is conducted by permitted paleontologists and their students. Many of the greatest dinosaur discoveries occur on your public lands in Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana and New Mexico! For example, just outside Cañon City, Colorado discoveries include the first complete skeleton of Allosaurus, the three most complete Stegosaurus skeletons ever found, as well as the first known remains of dinosaurs like Camarasaurus, Ceratosaurus, and Diplodocus.
Of course, the proper preservation and protection of paleontological resources is a vital component of BLM’s Paleontology program and is the reason that the BLM and Universal Studios created these Public Service Announcements back in 1993. Students and scientists with BLM permits are making new discoveries every year, many of whom became excited about paleontology because of movies such as Jurassic Park.

I pass this Men At Work billboard every morning on my way to work (for men!) and it makes me want to go to these men’s places of work and punch them in their stupid, smug faces.
I haven’t seen an episode of the show, but based on the commercials, I’d guess it’s a huge hit with the douchebag demographic.
"When I was a kid growing up in the projects, I would look up into the stars and dream of going into space, escaping the slums, and killing an Ewok! Now the man that kid has become can make those dreams come true. Do you know what that’s like?"
