Question of the Day
Sooooo … would this be covered under house insurance, car insurance or does this fall within the realm of roadside assistance?
Poutine
A deliciously unhealthy dish from our friends up north. I’ve personally never had it but I can imagine how awesome it is.
Them Crooked Vultures
Supergroup involving David Grohl of Foo Fighters on drums, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age on guitar and vocals, and the legendary John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin on bass and keys. Amazing.

Water Discovered in Moon Shadow, AND A FACE
I spotted a face..
Why is there water on the Moon? Last month, the LCROSS mission crashed a large impactor into a permanently shadowed crater near the Moon’s South Pole. A plume of dust rose that was visible to the satellite, although hard to discern from Earth. The plume is shown above in visible light. Last week, the results of a preliminary chemical analysis gave a clear indication that the dust plume contained water. Such water is of importance not only for understanding the history of the Moon, but as a possible reservoir for future astronauts trying to live on the Moon for long periods. The source of the lunar water is now a topic of debate. Possible origins include many small meteorites, a comet, or primordial moon soil.

Veggie Guts
“Vegetables are all your body needs.”
Last time I checked, vegetables by themselves don’t give you nearly enough protein, or (depending on your energy consumption) carbs either.

Dawn Before Nova
Explanation: Will this dawn bring another nova? Such dilemmas might be pondered one day by future humans living on a planet orbiting a cataclysmic variable binary star system. Cataclysmic variables involve gas falling from a large star onto an accretion disk surrounding a massive but compact white dwarf star. Explosive cataclysmic events such as a dwarf nova can occur when a clump of gas in the interior of the accretion disk heats up past a certain temperature. At that point, the clump will fall more quickly onto the white dwarf and land with a bright flash. Such dwarf novas will not destroy either star, and may occur irregularly on time scales from a few days to tens of years. Although a nova is much less energetic than a supernova, if recurrent novas are not violent enough to expel more gas than is falling in, mass will accumulate onto the white dwarf star until it passes its Chandrasekhar limit. At that point, a foreground cave may provide little protection, as the entire white dwarf star will explode in a tremendous supernova.

I had two outfits.
Mayyday’s Halloween
My Halloween pics through the years. They got progressively more complex as time went on. The Pac-Man machine actually worked, the proton pack lit up and made sounds, etc.
