What follows is a parody of My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music. Lamellar on Ronin and Parseltongue whispers, bright copper scales and sharp spiny whiskers, Jedi mind tricks; force-sensitive younglings, these are a few of my favorite things. Pearlescent unicorns and caffeine by the kilo, dwarf beards and elf ears and [...]

The Good News Australian scientists report that iron-rich whale poop fertilizes plankton, helping to keep CO2 out of the atmosphere. (Uh, save the whales! And damn the Japanese.) Hurting?

Brilliant, as the Brits would say. The writer has long hinted that he’d be writing an episode of Doctor Who. Now, via Twitter, Gaiman proves to us that he’s actually done it. I guess you have to be a fan of the series and of Gaiman to truly appreciate this. Anyway, I hope Gaiman’s episode is [...]
