A very interesting talk about overcoming what you think you know.

Just zoom in on any random section, and be blown away by how much STUFF there is out there.

Some gorgeous pictures from the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Makes me want to load up Stalker again.

Holy crap, these figures are way higher than I thought they were.

I apologize for posting a WoW item, but much of this applies to other RPGs as well. If you’ve never played an RPG…skip this.

Holy crap, I had no idea there were so many other oil rigs down there.

You may have seen similar stories posted elsewhere recently, with titles like “Acupuncture Proven to Work”. That is, however, a huge misrepresentation of what the data actually shows, which is actually pretty interesting. It also shows how a person’s ideology can taint otherwise good science.

It’s rare to see HDR done well, but for once, these are great shots.
