A delightful video version of a song titled “Science is Real,” from the new kids’ album by They Might Be Giants, Here Comes Science.
A big LGF thumbs-up goes to TMBG for being such strong advocates for science education.

Not necessarily "headbanger". Beethoven's Ninth, and the works of Robert Johnson and Hank Williams Sr. qualify as some of the most passionate and intense music ever written. It's gotta come from the heart and scrotum, not the neocortex, to move me.

And I know why, too. There's a little LGF-hate talking point going around now that it's only a matter of time until I abandon Israel. They're planting evidence.
I am absolutely not surprised. Since when has the notion that telling evil open lies stopped the crazy super far right or left?
Kinda like Death panels and Nirthers...
I have decided that I truly hate these folks.

Love TMBG.
In a weird (but strangely appropriate) side note, my wife purchased tickets for my birthday 8 years ago at the Moore Theater in Seattle. My birthday is September 13th (that would be tomorrow). As fate would have it, it would be almost another year until we saw that concert (this time at the Paramount in Seattle). 2 days before they came to perform, 9-11 happened. Fortunately, even though the tickets were purchased through Ticketmaster, TMBG honored all tickets for the concert that was supposed to happen on my birthday... 9-13-2001.

Someone came in and posted several reasonable-sounding comments, then posted another long comment that also sounded reasonable and sane -- except that buried in the middle of it was the line "those whiny Jews and their holocaust."
