    Science Creates Glass That's Stronger Than Steel

    Well let me put it this way: the main component of glass, silicon oxide or sand, is cheap enough to be effectively free for glass manufacture. Palladium costs about $800 per ounce. I don't know how much Palladium they need per ounce of glass, but either way it will be expensive.

    You Don't Know Jack

    Damn you Bob! I have just spent 15 minutes trying to find the nearest library so I can read the books again... I will have to find out if my parents still have them. Very insightful as always. Also, as always, sending me to discover or rediscover something!

    Shamus Plays WoW #7: The Cataclysm Begins!

    The more things change the more they stay the same huh! I hope Blizzard addressed more than just the geography and the 'popular' crap quests in Cataclysm, the fetch and carry quests really get me down...

    Why the Book Is Always Better

    Very nice article; It excatly reflects the thoughts I had about the Lord of The Rings when I watched the films. They are brilliant films but they aren't MY Middle Earth!

    Force Unleashed 2 Is Too Much

    I totally agree with you on this one. While I loved Batman: AA to bits, by the end of the game I fucking hated the 'boss encounters'. I got to the point where I was like 'I wonder what Joker has install now... could it be a Baneling (geddit?!) with MORE creeps than he had last time'... Imagine...

    Poll: Hats : Wearing Indoors. Rude?

    At The Cenotaph - Siegfried Sassoon I saw the Prince of Darkness, with his Staff, Standing bare-headed by the Cenotaph: Unostentatious and respectful, there He stood, and offered up the following prayer. 'Make them forget, O Lord, what this Memorial Means; their discredited ideas revive...

    Poll: Politicly Correct my A**

    You could probably score a lot of point with your teacher by writing a Persuasive Essay titled this 'Pursuasive essays neccesarily use biased language as a method of persuasion' subtitled 'How "Bias-Free Language: Some Guidelines" is ironically written from a biased perspective.' All written...

    Question of the Day, November 17, 2010

    I have yet to play a game that has no in some way exercised my problem solving skill (other than Guitar Hero). However, I don't think being awesome a GT5 makes you any more likely to be a good race car driver than being awesome at guitar hero makes you any more likely to be a good rock star...

    A useless fact you know

    Unfortunately your first useless fact is in fact a useless myth; Glass is a solid (it does not flow). It is however amorphous which is where the liquid analogy comes from - it freezes into a static version of what it looked like as a liquid; it doesn't crystallise when it freezes. Useless...

    Hunt Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolf-Man in New MMO

    I wish this wasn't destined to fail! It would be so easy to imagine a (probably steampunked) late victorian era Europe where you get to travel around killing the preeminent monsters! Perfect because projectile weapons were on the cusp of dominance, but not quite there, you could go all League...

    GREEDo Shoots First

    You missed a trick with this one: 'Damnit Greedo you're shooting like a Stormtrooper!' Eitherway, funny stuff!

    Poll: How Much Of A Nerd Are You?

    Can't say Klingon is one of the things I have in my bag of Ubernerd tricks- I think I need to invest! I can't decide if saying the mother has a smooth forehead is an insult or is you hitting on her... Eitherway my nerdiness is all science, computers and cartoons, although I have watched...

    Poll: How Much Of A Nerd Are You?

    Since I just took the awesome quiz I was wondering what the demographic of The Escapist is in this respect. Also I would love to know which aspects about you upped your roll! For me it was my devotion to my self-built computer. Even now I am thinking about new bits for it...
