| Goths. Gardening. Gothic Gardening. Much more interesting than you’d think, and extremely well-written. Particular favorites are the theme gardens, especially The Abortionist’s Garden and The Little Greenhouse of Horrors (although it could do with more information about carnivorous plants). But c’mon – any gardening site with a page on Gardening for Bats gets my approval. to Culture by elder |

| Some silly people thought Cassini was too dangerous to launch because of it’s plutonium power source. Others oppose the hydrogen-bomb-driven Orion spacecraft on more sensible grounds.

| There’s no need to hire expensive geophysicists or New-Ageydowsers when THE LORD tells you where to find profitable oil wells! You heathens would never dream of replacing your petroleum engineers with bible scholars, but that’s why you don’t work at Ness Energy – founded to “distribute God’s SUPERNATURAL WEALTH to God’s end-time ministries.” Strangely, God’s supernatural wealth has not translated into supernatural returns for Ness’s shareholders – but we here at memepool are pretty sure it’s just God’s way of testing the faith of the flock. to Wackos by pjammer |

| When you look at the sky at night, thank your lucky (ahem) stars that we live in a relatively dust-free part of the galaxy. This empty volume around us, out to about 100 light-years in every direction, is called the Local Bubble. Without this Bubble, it would be unlikely that we could see as many stars as we can. This good fortune is somewhat mitigated, however, by the fact that our sun is further encased in a small dust cloud, called the Local Fluff. Astronomers can be so cute! to Science by riotnrrd |
