Does that really what atheist extremists do ? Talk about space, aliens or parallel worlds and stuff ? or this is clearly a manipulation ? and Hey check out PKK please :) The idea behind this organization is practically based on marksism & leninism so that makes them atheist as well, right ? correct me if I'm wrong. So what they do? They bomb and kill innocent people in Turkey , does not even matter if they are babies, youngsters or women. - mcd

"When it comes to play, humans don’t play around. Other species play, but none play for as much of their lives as humans do, or as imaginatively, or with as much protection from the family circle. Human children are unique in using play to explore hypothetical situations rather than to rehearse actual challenges they’ll face later. Kittens may pretend to be cats fighting, but they will not pretend to be children; children, by contrast, will readily pretend to be cats or kittens — and then to be Hannah Montana, followed by Spider-Man saving the day. And in doing so, they develop some of humanity’s most consequential faculties. They learn the art, pleasure and power of hypothesis — of imagining new possibilities. And serious students of play believe that this helps make the species great. The idea that play contributes to human success goes back at least a century. But in the last 25 years or so, researchers like Elizabeth S. Spelke, Brian Sutton-Smith, Jaak Panksepp and Alison Gopnik... more... - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet

"Dr. Gopnik shows this brilliantly with a game she invented with the psychologist David Sobel (her student, now a professor at Brown). In the game, which has the fetching name Blickets, players try to figure out what it is that makes an otherwise undistinguished clay figure a blicket. In some scenarios you can win even if you’re applying a prior bias. In others you can’t. Last summer I... more... - Anne Bouey

"Esther, along with most other 4- and 5-year-olds tested, bested not just me but most of 88 California undergraduates who took the “and” test. We educated grown-ups failed because our prior biases dictated that we play the game by the more common and efficient “or” rule. “Or” rules apply far more often in actual life, when a thing’s essence seldom depends on another object’s presence.... more... - Anne Bouey

"We're making a browser-based game that lets people build anything they can imagine. It's like virtual Lego, except anyone can contribute a new piece simply by drawing it. The 2D drawings are bounding-boxed into 2.5D objects that can be used to build in 3D space." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"SALINA, KS—Local man Scott Gentries told reporters Wednesday that his deliberately limited grasp of Islamic history and culture was still more than sufficient to shape his views of the entire Muslim world. Gentries, 48, said he had absolutely no interest in exposing himself to further knowledge of Islamic civilization or putting his sweeping opinions into a broader context of any kind, and confirmed he was "perfectly happy" to make a handful of emotionally charged words the basis of his mistrust toward all members of the world's second-largest religion. "I learned all that really matters about the Muslim faith on 9/11," Gentries said in reference to the terrorist attacks on the United States undertaken by 19 of Islam's approximately 1.6 billion practitioners. "What more do I need to know to stigmatize Muslims everywhere as inherently violent radicals?"" - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet

"I almost gave in and listened to that guy defend Islam with words I didn't want to hear," Gentries said. "But then I remembered how much easier it is to live in a world of black-and-white in which I can assign the label of 'other' to someone and use him as a vessel for all my fears and insecurities." Added Gentries, "That really put things back into perspective." - Paul Buchheit

Excerpt: "Ben Davis: I’d been working on the Bay Bridge project from a communications point of view. After Burning Man in 2010, I was exhilarated by this “city” of 50,000 people coming together and working beautifully. I wanted to bring that awe to a place where it could live a little longer. Then it clicked—this bridge could be a canvas. When I looked at Leo’s work, the hair 
on the back of my neck stood up. Only one artist was considered for this work. And it was Leo Villareal." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from Bookmarklet

"How big is the Moon, really? Reddit user boredboarder8 provided some perspective with this image of the Moon with an overlaid United States. It's roughly estimated (and others would be better at commenting on the accuracy better than me), but after some back-of-napkin math it seems about right. The area of the United States, not including Alaska, is a little over 20 percent of the Moon's surface area." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

I'm still an inport to CA. It's been 9 years but I've always been bad geography, so unless I go there I rarely know where things are. I'm in Sunnyvale. She is a cutie.

"Rapunzel is happily sitting in her tower. She uses the quiet and solitude to study and reflect, becoming a leading expert in skyscraper engineering. Someone comes along and starts randomly shouting at her through the window to let him touch her and pull her hair. Whether or not he was drunk, this is completely inappropriate behaviour. She drops hardback books on his head until he goes away." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"Two women who were shot by Los Angeles police in Torrance early Thursday during a massive manhunt for an ex-LAPD officer were delivering newspapers, sources said."A second shooting, involving Torrance police officers, occurred about 5:45 a.m. at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street in Torrance. No injuries were reported in that incident. Chase said that in both instances police came across vehicles they thought were similar to the one Dorner is believed to be driving. Neither vehicle was Dorner's. - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

It's nuts. The way I heard it on the news, it was early morning, the delivery truck had no headlights on. Still, one would think they could somehow see the newspapers being thrown or run the plates on the car... I'm glad they weren't killed. There are a lot of bullet holes there. :( - Spidra Webster
