Recently, I’ve been playing a cool Nintendo DS game called “Puzzle Quest 2″. I got to say… I’m addicted! I’m not a big Nintendo DS fanatic, but this game… It’s gotten me hammering down Goblins, Witches, grabbing bigger, better weapons, and dressing like a soldier from the middle age and collecting money as if it was sand. I’m not a game-reviewer so I’ll just settle with showing you guys a YouTube video of what I’m currently addicted to. Check it out! (Courtesy of NamcoBandaiGamesEU)

As for what I think… I fear that he’s right. Humans are far too narrow minded and short sighted to deal with a global problem.
We haven’t evolved for this. Maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on our selves, but it sucks to be the organisms that put a whole planet in the toilet.

But now the topper of all toppers have theorized that the whole universe is a quantum computer.

In Decoding Reality, Vedral argues that we should regard the entire universe as a gigantic quantum computer. Wacky as that may sound, it is backed up by hard science. The laws of physics show that it is not only possible for electrons to store and flip bits: it is mandatory. For more than a decade, quantum-information scientists have been working to determine just how the universe processes information at the most microscopic scale.

It turns out that chameleons’ tongues give them a natural advantage over other lizards.

Their tongues work roughly like a cross between a catapult and an collapsable fishing pole. This means that they don’t use their muscles to launch the tongue, but they use them when reeling it back in.

This is significant because lizards are slow and sluggish when cold because their muscles are less effective. Not the chameleons tongue though, so he can get a late or early snack just as easily as at noon.
