Aha! I always knew there was a connection between the Super Mario and Chrono Trigger universes, and this proves it . It also proves I’m the world’s handsomest blogger and have a brain that would make Einstein’s turn in its jar of formaldehyde.

Finally scientists have proven that, despite what popular kid’s programs would have you believe, dinosaurs were not all purple and sing-songy and allowed near children. Nope, some has feathers . Red ones. The researchers removed 29 chips, each the size of a poppy seed, from across the dinosaur’s body. Mr. Vinther put the chips under a microscope and discovered melanosomes. To figure out the colors of Anchiornis feathers, Mr. Vinther and his colleagues turned to Matthew Shawkey, a University of Akron biologist who has made detailed studies of melanosome patterns in living birds. Dr. Shawkey can accurately predict the color of feathers from melanosomes alone. The scientists used the same method to decipher Anchiornis’s color pattern. Anchiornis had a crown of reddish feathers surrounding dark gray ones, and its face was mottled with reddish and black spots. Its body was dark gray, but its limb feathers were white with black tips. Given the full detail of the findings, Dr. Prum said, “it was like writing the first entry in a Jurassic field guide to feathered dinosaurs.” “….like writing the first entry in a Jurassic field guide to feathered dinosaurs.” Where the hell do these people come up with this stuff? Because I want their power of similes. Could you imagine? A word wizard of my caliber mastering the art of similes? I’d be like an unstoppable tornado of raw power and supple skin that you just want to feel against your cheek so badly but can’t BECAUSE I’M A F***ING RAGING TORNADO AND WILL TEAR YOUR GOTDAMN HOUSE DOWN.

This is a little (well, large actually) informational graphic explaining who uses the interwebs and some other stuff about this bitchin’ series of tubes . There’s nothing particularly shocking about the stats except for the fact that US broadband speed sucks big ol’ fossilized dino balls compared to everywhere else. Oh, and the State of the Blogosphere section, that part was interesting. Did you know that 16% of bloggers consider themselves “snarky”, 44% “humorous” and 54% “expert”? Only one answered “hung like mountain lion, if mountain lions were 18 feet tall and three-quarters penis”, and that was me. Just sayin’, I can’t lie. Hit the jump for the rest of the moderately informative graphic.

This is part of a chart comparing the traits of various vampires . As you can see, there’s little to no consistency between vampire franchises. This is the appearances chart, but if you go to Wikipedia they also have comparisons of weaknesses, supernatural powers, reproduction and similarities in plot setting. I’m convinced somebody made them with the explicit intention of proving to Twi-hards that they’re not in love with a real vampire, just a twinkly little bitch with gorgeous hair. Which, God, that hair . Tables of vampire traits [wikipedia] Thanks to Erik, whose devilish good looks put Edward ‘Twinkle Toes’ Cullen’s to shame.

CAUSE I WOULD HIT THAT LIKE A DINO-RIDER ! Hit the jump to see some more.

The British government, in an attempt to cleanse its fish and chip stained hands, has released previously confidential documents regarding little green men who come to stick things in your butt while you’re sleeping (elves). The National Archives on Monday released the government’s complete file on the “Rendlesham Forest Incident” of December 1980, one of Britain’s most famous UFO sightings. Halt reported that two servicemen had noticed “unusual lights” about 3 a.m. in the woods outside the gates of RAF Woodbridge, a U.S. base in eastern England. He wrote that patrolmen sent to investigate saw “a strange glowing object” in the forest. The metallic, triangular object “illuminated the entire forest with a white light,” he wrote. The next day, investigators found depressions in the ground and unusual radiation readings. That night many personnel — including Halt himself — saw a pulsing “red sun-like light” in the trees that broke into five white objects and disappeared. I mean, is it not common knowledge by now that aliens exist. Because if they didn’t, where did *rummaging around in ass* THIS come from?!? And no, this isn’t just a television antennae with aluminum foil wrapped around it. Okay, so maybe it is. Still, there’s something else in there, I can feel it… … … …a dinosaur toy — I’ve been looking for that! Britain publishes more UFO files, but few answers [yahoonews] Thanks to Brad, who once slept with an alien chick and didn’t even bother phoning her home the next day. Bad form, Brad.
