New Shit has Come to Light

Browsing through Discover Magazine online today, I found two totally rad articles:

1. Zombie Ants!!!

2. Time Travel!!!

Additionally, I saw this article on NYT about Man United legend Eric Cantona and this strange but awesome-sounding new movie starring him. The article makes him sound like the coolest dude ever, mainly because of this anecdote:

After karate-kicking an opposing fan, he had a press conference to explain himself. He simply said: "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much." Awesome.

OK, first things first. My friend at work emailed this to me today. I'm still laughing. I love how the succinctness of it adds infinitely to the hilarity.
