Zinc?! I never could live without zinc …

They can’t do that! Shoot them … or something

I guess his reasoning was a little coarse and rough.

How can he have written a Jedi Master’s thesis and not be a Jedi Master?!

Ah well, good to hear that at least, and never mind then.

“Did you try erasing everything from the beginning and letting it reemerge again?”

You mean this one, right? But it looks so cute <3

I don’t remember the details, but wasn’t there a massive genetic bottleneck event in early (modern?) human prehistory?

Could be fun if it didn’t happen and we were more genetically diverse!

Most sensible answer yet (maybe not the most exciting one though ;) )

Sorry you got sick!

Gentlemen, this is Fine Arts manifest!

I for one never doubted you for a second.

Starch is the nourishing part in a lot of our staple foods (potatos, cereals etc.) and easily digestible. Cellulose is a major component of wood (and cotton and paper) and of what we call “fiber” in our food, the stuff we cannot digest.

Both starch and cellulose are long, sometimes interlinked chains of glucose molecules. The only difference is at which corner of each glucose molecule the next is attached.

Another one about cheese: The cheese blocks you can get at the super market are reasonably small-portioned food items. The moon is a celestial body revolving around the Earth at a distance of around 250,000 miles, yet both are made from the same material. Makes you think.

The Mundaneum was an institution which aimed to gather together all the world’s knowledge and classify it according to a system called the Universal Decimal Classification. […]

[…] which eventually became an archive with more than 12 million index cards and documents.

Wow! …

When Nazi Germany invaded Belgium in 1940, the Mundaneum was replaced with an exhibit of Third Reich art, and some material was lost.

… sigh.

Yeah, everybody please respect the honor system and use decimal for numbers up to ten, binary for numbers up to one.

If you absolutely have to count to e.g. 20 in decimal, just count to ten twice.

Whoah! There is a star constellation Berenice’s Hair*, and suddenly it’s connected to a name I know!
