If Dr. Seuss Wrote About Skyrim

You might have caught the recent “If Dr. Seuss Wrote Batman” post, well now DeviantARTist Dr.FaustusAU has done his own little rendition for Skyrim:

And he’s even got a snippet in Dr. Seuss style to go with it:

Back up, my friends.
Please make some room.
I’m just about to shout my Thu’um!

He’s also got some Star Wars ones:

It’s not as bad as Luke had feared,
It just let go and disappeared.

Don’t judge him too harshly.
Oh, please do refrain!

He once had an accident;
lost half his brain.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!

A Google A Day Keeps Your Brain at Play!

So you know how trivia games are always like “No Google allowed” and you’re like “Damn it, I know how to use Google like a pro.”

Well Google’s got a game for you.

Google has launched a web-based trivia game called “A Google A Day”. The idea of it is that they release a new question every day (at 12.01am EST) and you’re meant to use Google to find the answer – using nifty search features, which you can learn about at Inside Search.

A pretty ingenious function is this thing called “Deja Google” at the Google a Day site that allows you to search Google as it was before the game began. Why? So that you can solve the day’s puzzle without accidentally stumbling across the answer somewhere else on the web in your search.

Gotta love Google’s ingenuity: all the trivia games in the playground told Google that it couldn’t play with them, so Google went and created its own game, and is now watching the nerds flock to it.

Anyone already enjoying the “A Google A Day” challenges?

Mind Blowing 3D Animation: I, Pet Goat II [Video]

I won’t comment on the political or philosophical aspects behind this video, but from a visual perspective, this is one of the most brilliant 3D animation I’ve been given to watch in a long, long time. I’m especially happy to give it a little love since it comes from an animation studio that is located just 30 minutes from where I live.

Based in the beautiful Laurentian mountains just north of Montreal, Canada, Heliofant is a nascent independent computer animation studio focused on creating experimental and challenging content. Bringing together artists from the fields of dance, music, computer animation and visual arts, the company is very interested in exploring the common ground that underlies many spiritual and philosophical traditions in a lyrical form.

ALERT! ALERT! INVADE ALL OF THE HUMANS!!!

I, for one, welcome our new minuature robot overlords.

PX-Micron and Calculord 3 are homeless and deranged, and spend their days in the park laughing at humans and planning their invasion of Earth. They also enjoy performing electronic music and dance routines. They run on four AA batteries.

How NOT to Promote Science to Women [Video]

I don’t know about you guys, but from my perspective, this video completely misses the mark when it comes to promoting scientific careers to women girls. This thing looks like an ad for a fashion magazine, certainly not something that would encourage ladies to pursue a career in a scientific field.

Thoughts?
