David Tennant needs to wear this in Series Four of Doctor Who.

According to physicist Bradley Edward, it costs about $10,000 per lb to launch something into space, but a working space elevator would lower the cost to about $100 per lb.

This is so entertaining. A couple guys decided to parody carbon ofsetting by applying the same logic to cheating.

| William F. Buckley, Jr. (1925-2008) |
[27 Feb 2008|01:35pm] |
William F. Buckley passed away today.
Last year, I found this article on a National Review sponsored cruise ship fascinating, and a little sad. Buckley's opposition to the Iraq War made him deeply unpopular.

| Confucius Family Tree |
[20 Feb 2008|11:04pm] |
I found out recently that there's a group that somehow keeps track of descendants of Confucius.
The organization has been around since 1930, and there are two million people they've certified as descendants. They estimate that there are as many as three million descendants.
Confucius was born in 551 BC and died in 479 BC. How on Earth are they substantiating this? According to wikipedia, the Chinese have been keeping track of (and often honoring) his descendants continually until around 1935.
Imagine if somebody in the West could say the same thing.
"Yeah, I'm descended from Socrates."
"Really? I'm descended from Alexander the Great."
It does present an interesting question. If you could pick a historical figure you could legitimately claim descent from, who would that be?
Personally, I'd pick Benjamin Franklin. He is far and away my favorite Founding Father.
