A new report on the pharmaceutical industry has just been published by a European consortium, and it provides – among other data – proof that the U.S. is a breeding ground for synthetic mutants and weird new drugs.

Animals with their Tongues Sticking Out
Animals with Their Tongues Sticking Out is a blog devoted to pictures of, um…, animals with their tongues sticking out.
That’s basically it.

Mac, age 6
Just reposting this for my online buddy Mac Tonnies, of POSTHUMAN BLUES, who passed away last October at the age of 34. His parents are donating images that Mac drew when he was a youngster, obsessed with UFO’s and aliens even then. Tonnies remains one of the most down to earth and realistic explorers of the “UFO enigma” I’ve so far found. His tribute website is going to post more of his early drawings in the days and weeks to come.
This is your Brain on Computers
Scientists say juggling e-mail, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave. They say our ability to focus is being undermined by bursts of information.
These play to a primitive impulse to respond to immediate opportunities and threats. The stimulation provokes excitement — a dopamine squirt — that researchers say can be addictive. In its absence, people feel bored.
Thor’s Helmet
NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day today is a cosmic cloud called Thor’s Helmet, for obvious reasons.
Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor’s Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the helmet is actually more like an interstellar bubble, blown as a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble’s center sweeps through a surrounding molecular cloud. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. Cataloged as NGC 2359, the nebula is located about 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Canis Major.
