I loved the nemo reference! It is surprising and awesome that these creatures are so smart that they can get away. I think that it proves we should look at releasing more of these into the wild rather then holding onto them.

I can honestly say that’s a new one for me. It just goes to show raw determination and cleverness pay off.

No way! I almost can't even believe this story! Are they sure someone didn't help him? Are they sure he wasn't stolen? Do they have this escape on video? That is just insane!!

When you learned about The Periodic Table of Elements in high school, it probably didn’t look like this. Above, we have a different way of visualizing the elements. Created by Professor William F. Sheehan at Santa Clara University in 1970, this chart takes the elements (usually shown like this) and scales them relative to their abundance on the Earth’s surface.

Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit—all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.
