Veridian Dynamics: Life. Better.

Better Off Ted is one of the best TV shows I have ever had the privilege to watch. Hilarious, chock-full of quotable quotes, every episode is wonderful and well worth the 30 min investment of your time.

Too bad they may be canceled in favor of yet another stupid reality show.

'Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.''

Top Muslim clerics issue Fatwa denouncing terror attacks on Canada and U.S

A good start! What we need is for the Muslims all over the world that do not hold with the terrorist's views to take action - turning them in to governents, etc.

Golden ratio discovered in quantum world: Hidden symmetry observed for the first time in solid state matter: "'Here the tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. For these interactions we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…, which is the golden ratio famous from art and architecture.'"


...Awesome. Rough on the grey matter to conceptualize, but the general idea is fairly impressive.
