... kinda.

( Also some other dudes )

I LOVE SPECULATIVE BIOLOGY

Let's all devwatch Abiogenesis. (blog has scientists popping up in the comments to give critiques, oh my god)

Specworld -- Whatever killed the dinosaurs never happened! Dinosaurs! Everywhere!

Snaiad -- Completely alien, crazy muscle system, awesome illos, whales with water-jet butts.

Eobasileus -- Posts from early years dedicated to spec creatures. Fanged seasnake crocs!

Furahan Biology and Allied Matters -- Centaurs! Biplane birds! And he links/reviews other crazy spec-bio stuff, which is how I found the next thing...

Diary of Inhuman Species Doesn't appear to be doing it from an evolutionary standpoint (I know, baaaaaw), but man, sentient octopus monsters.

... And just in case these links start making you think REAL animals are boring, here's Zoolillogix. Were it not for this blog, I might have gone through life ignorant of the fact that moray eels have a second set of extendable jaws in their throat, like Alien. (This does not, in any way, diminish their cuteness.)

(All of this because Noscans started Off-Topic Tuesday. Clearly I need to start scheduling my homework time differently, I am not gonna get anything done on Tuesdays now. Back to work, Jemma, you filthy art-peon!)

Hey you're right Ed, Andre 3000 as Silver Surfer is pretty perfect.



Now who's he a herald of?

So I'm back from SDCC. Tomorrow I will tell you all the crazy things that happened. Until then, you might want to read this, in which Good Tim Callahan discusses the con, the New Awesome, and how I am gonna kick Megan Fox's ass.

(She's really asking for it. Are you reading this Meg? Whatever you're doing, you cut that out right now.)

(TLDR: The Benandanti were a 15th century Italian Catholic shaman werewolf cult. They fought witches! They were werewolves! It was awesome!)

I go in designing a myxomatosis bunny death monster and come out with a Star Saphire redesign. How does THAT happen? How do death bunnies become space nuns in go-go boots? I ask you.

I CAN'T STOP READING BATTLE FOR THE COWL GUYS, LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME, I BLAME MY ENTIRE FLIST

It's like, the perfect combination of comic book and trainwreck. I can't look away. I am sitting here hoping Jason kills everybody and ends the entire franchise.

(Gosh, now I wanna make a comic strip primer of Jason Todd's life, from ill-fated tire theft all the way up to killing everyone and breaking the universe.)

Okay, so I see Skottie Young has gotten on the front page of Deviantart, fun times yay.

BUT WHA-

Dear flist, tell me I'm not the only one seeing the cat face in the light/shadow pattern there. ALL I SEE IS CAT.

Happy birthday Joel Carroll! Fun facts about Joel:

-He gives people pens
-He is a grizzled and hard-bitten Internet Space Cop
-His boss is a cat

Shine on, you crazy Lantern.

I need to stop falling for every guy who gets a snazzy redesign. And RAYGUN. PEW PEW LASER BEES.

I demand Joyous Science Adventures and robot battles post-haste.

Seven Soldiers is like, the best thing ever.

(why yes I do read everything four years late, why do you ask)
