Clever Analysis...

I've read about this famous little bit of WWII analysis before, and then read a bit more about Dr. Wald on the web.  It's an interesting story...

Shakespeare...

I'm not sure where this originated, but it's a great presentation of a bunch of English expressions still in common use that actually originated with the bard: Shakespeare.  It's rather stunning just how much influence a single writer had.  Click to enlarge, and enjoy!

A Quintet of Moons...

Cassini is still hard at work in the Saturnian system, returning scads of good science data every day.  The photo at right (click to enlarge, as always) was taken recently, and shows five moons of Saturn all in one shot.  From left to right: Janus, Pandora, Enceladus, Mimas, and half of Rhea.  Awesome!

Geek Humor...

Math joke:

“An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one tells the bartender he wants a beer. The second one says he wants half a beer. The third one says he wants a fourth of a beer. The bartender puts two beers on the bar and says “You guys need to learn your limits.”
