Lights will guide you home... unless you’re on the flight log.

@PatFlynn Pat, I had a weird moment where I thought I was reading something I wrote and forgot about because every word of this, every word, is exactly true about my son.

Not to be a Halloween Scrooge but I don’t like that everyone uses stencils to carve their pumpkins now. Jack-o-lanterns are supposed to be extremely unimpressive. You should have a vision in your head and then not be able to execute it. That’s what Halloween is all about.

Wow. This was a special moment. I think Dad would be pretty proud that we’ve become the first to successfully breed the turtle that he discovered. A rare, and unique species under threat in the wild has just been given a second chance.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

@rbjr2 I fell victim to one the classic blunders

[Kendon Shaw @kendon]

I knew all this and it’s still so incredible to read through.

Why does The Lord of the Rings trilogy still look so good?

Many reasons, but here's one: Minas Tirith wasn't CGI. They built a miniature version of the whole city and filmed that. It looks realistic... because it was real.

And this wasn't even the biggest model they made...

@hankgreen Must be socks w/ “Fix Facts” on them.

*Hank leans in*

“Did you know… people in Ancient Greece made socks from matted animal hair? Now, why don’t you turn around and go the other way before I see how many socks I can make out of your hair.”

I cannot believe Bob Barker lived as close to 100 as possible without going over.
