I KNEW IT!!!!
This article from NewScientist suggests what I've believed all along; that everything is a hologram and we are all brains in a jar somewhere hooked up to doohickeys. Here's an excerpt;
For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time – the point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described and instead dissolves into “grains”, just as a newspaper photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. “It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time,” says Hogan.
If this doesn’t blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab’s Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: “If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram.”
The idea that we live in a hologram probably sounds absurd, but it is a natural extension of our best understanding of black holes, and something with a pretty firm theoretical footing. It has also been surprisingly helpful for physicists wrestling with theories of how the universe works at its most fundamental level.
The holograms you find on credit cards and banknotes are etched on two-dimensional plastic films. When light bounces off them, it recreates the appearance of a 3D image. In the 1990s physicists Leonard Susskind and Nobel prizewinner Gerard ‘t Hooft suggested that the same principle might apply to the universe as a whole. Our everyday experience might itself be a holographic projection of physical processes that take place on a distant, 2D surface.
Check out My New Kicks!
I love this picture of my wife's nephew and our youngest holding on for dear life!
Great Retro Travel Posters!
I just love these super-minimalist Star Wars retro travel posters by Justin Van Genderen; they make me actually want to visit Hoth in February! Via SuperPunch!
This Beats The Hell Out of ALL of Those Superbowl Ads!
Yes, this is a for-real, probably turn of the 20th century advertisement, and I think it's the best EVER!!!! I mean, who cares if everything above your waist is reduced to ash? Your junk will be intact! And don't forget to look for the "burning boy" label. Would you really forget to?!? Via CalsCanaidianCaveofCool.
My New Guilty Pleasure
OK, let me preface this by stating that I can't stand most reality TV (except COPS, of course), and I'm proud to say that I've never seen an episode of "Jersey Shore", but I can't get enough of this white trash south African rap group; Die Antwoord, that I posted about last week. This time they're partying in a taxi while driving around town and dropping more F-bombs than China's got people! I can't help it - the tunes are catchy.
Your Morning Wake-Up Call....
I was a little unsure how Alice in Chains would do without Layne Staley, but if this tune is any indication, I think they'll be doing quite well!

Some Stuff That I Enjoyed Looking At.
Hey, it's Friday and I'm feeling lazy. Too many sources to cite, but most came from my favorite image site; FFFFOUND!

I'M ON COVERED!!!
YAY!! My Spidey 101 cover featuring Morbius The Vampire puttin' the pimp slap to Spidey is now on Covered; alongside work by industry titans such as Joe Jusko, Fred Hembeck, Al Bigley, and of course, the guy who gave birth to "Covered"; the very talented Robert Goodin! Prints can be purchased here!
This is Pretty Awesome...
From The South African band; Die Antwoord (it means "the answer") comes this waaay to catchy tune "Enter The Ninja". This definitely has some NSFW lyrics, so that means no, you can't watch it Logan!
An Animated Zombie Flick?!? YES, PLEASE!
This is the trailer for A.D.; a post-apocalyptic zombie tale Written by Haylar Garcia and Directed by Ben Hibon of "Codehunters". They are currently searching for a studio to distribute the film, and I hope they find one, 'cause the animation is friggin' sick! Click here for an interview with Garcia and Hibon. Via Boing-Boing

Great Song I Can't Get Out of My Head
Neil Young performing "After The Goldrush" in 1978. Go ahead, make your day a little bit better and give it a listen. You're welcome.
Chocolate Skull? Yes, Please!
I love this T-Shirt over at Threadless, and there's not too many left. If I had any money, I'd buy one, but that shouldn't stop you! Via HauntStyle.
Amazing Photography!
Things aren't quite what the seem in this fantastic photo by Michael Paul Smith. Look at it for a minute and see if you can figure it out, and if you can't, click here and see just what makes his photography so special.
