Octopuses give eight thumbs up for high-def TV
Sharing a movie with an insensitive eight-armed animal may not be every woman’s perfect date. Renata Pronk did it for science, and made two significant discoveries. Octopuses can watch television and understand at least some of what they see. However, they enjoy only high-definition programs.

What If Wolverine and LeBron James Joined the New...
… is an actual, honest-to-god headline on Slate right now, thanks to ladmagtastic former Austiner and all-around asshole Neal Pollack. LeBron, wondering if he remembered to feed his goldfish. But what I (and most SMJ readers) really want to know is… Jean Grey was definitely traced from a porno mag, as are most Marvel heroines since the late 70s.Wolvie’s fangs are great,...

Tardigrades can survive for a few minutes at 151 °C, for days at –200 °C, or for a few minutes at –272 °C. They can withstand a total vaccuum and high pressures above 6000 times atmospheric. They can survive the vacuum of open space and solar radiation combined for at least 10 days. Tardigrades have been shown to survive for nearly a decade in a dehydrated state. One researcher reported that...

Beauty Bar House band plays uncharacteristically...
That’s right. Hoards will be knocking down the wrought metal doors of Red 7 to stand on Prototype’s vintage white vinyl couches and watch the Trail of Cocks play tonight. If they sound anything like they did at FxFF it’s going to rule. I heard they’re playing as a three piece tonight though, so I don’t know how they’re going to sound without a fourth drummer....
