The Egg, by Andy Weir
You were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children.

The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail.
Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

“You died,” I...

‘We Are Drowning’ On A Road To Nowhere →
Oil prices are rocketing. Iranian warships are moving into the Mediterranean to shadow the US warships already there. Propaganda news is growing with rumors of Al Qaeda links with Iran, and, then, less speculative news about real links between the terror groups and the armed opposition in Syria.

Fungi Discovered In The Amazon Will Eat Your... →
Polyurethane seemed like it couldn’t interact with the earth’s normal processes of breaking down and recycling material. That’s just because it hadn’t met the right mushroom yet.

But are these drugs really helping children? Should we really keep expanding the number...

The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in...
