Cute Chemical Element Personification

I found those chemical element characters created by Wirdou.
Sweet! One of the best chemical element personification works I've seen so far.

The Avengers
Silver Surfer

I'm Almost Scared by the Scale of Our Universe

The Scale of the Universe

Go to this website and play. It's very meaningful and fun.
The creator even added comments on every object. Click to see them.
Oh by the way, you can switch to a different language from the bottom.

I dragged from the smallest scale to the largest. I'm almost scared right now. LOL
I can again laugh at physicists from the view point of a biologist for what they're dealing with.

New Discoveries in the Human Genome

Two articles that my evolutionary biology professor wanted us to read:

Getting to Know the Genome
Only 1.5% of the human genome codes for proteins. Other sections of the DNA were regarded as "junk DNA" that has no known function in the past. It's not true now. Scientists have found that some sequences code for important RNAs, some sequences can bind to proteins and regulate the expression of other genes, and many gene-gene interactions were uncovered. The functional regions of the human genome can be over 80%, or even 100%! No more junk DNA!

Father's Age Affects Mutation Rate
My genetic professor also informed us about this new discovery. People used to think that genetic disorders are more associated with the mother's age, now scientists have found that the mutations contributed by older fathers is 4 to 7 times than mothers', especially mutations that cause autism and schizophrenia. The difference is due to how sperm cells and ova are produced.

I think I can't love my evolutionary biology professor more now.

First Successful Exam Synthesis Problem

This is from my 4th chemistry midterm. It was the first synthesis problem I ever successfully answered on an exam! Except I got one point deduced for a careless mistake of writing a bromide instead of a Grignard reagent. I ... was so happy! I got 84% on this exam, which was much higher than the average 54%. Now I'm preparing for the final. I hope I could perform as well on final. We've learned about 150 chemical reactions this semester. Hard to believe right?

I read someone's webpage about Nikola Tesla (the inventor of alternating current, modern electricity system, and many other electronic-related stuff). The person was basically explaining how Tesla was the king of inventors and geeks and Edison was a dickhead (the insults are a thousand times worse on the webpage; the lack of objectivity made me doubt the "facts"). Seems like Tesla had investigated and invented more things than Edison, but he just frequently forgot to write them down or patent them. If the "facts" on the webpage are true, what a shame it is that all the books and textbooks I've read told me that Edison was one of the greatest scientists/inventors and I've only heard about Tesla's name a few months ago! (The webpage said Edison did a lot of bad things in the rivalry with Tesla.) Edison enjoyed the fame and profits brought by his inventions, but Tesla was never married and eventually broke and died alone. (That's sad, he was a handsome guy too ... but consider his exceptional passion for lab works and mental illness, it was probably better that he was single.) There seem to be a lot of underrated scientists in history, while some others became world-famous not entirely due to their works ... I guess now I understand why Tesla won the majority of people's support on Facebook in a humorous comic battling with Edison.

I don't know how much those were true, but just look at Tesla manipulating electricity and lightening in his hands and lab, and claiming that he had the design of devices that could charge a building from lightening (so we don't need wires) and death rays that could kill an army 200 miles away ... OMG so badass!

Btw, the webpage is here: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla

Superjail Wiki?

What? Superjail has a Wiki too? Seems like everything has a Wiki today!
Gee I love it! It has everything, even the little, random, cameo, unnamed things in the show.

Who Wants to Look Like Cartoon Characters?

http://www.niusnews.com/index.php/main/view/789

Woah ... This is effing terrifying!  =  =
I said are those people too addicted to Photoshop so they are sick?
Show this to some girls and see if they still want to look like those pretty (esp. manga) cartoon characters.

http://www.niusnews.com/index.php/main/view/840

Oh but this one above is very neat! It's the skeletons of American cartoon characters made by a Korean artist.

I've been staying up very late. Mom and Dad said I always work hard at first then can't persist later. It seems like they don't believe I've been working hard in the past few weeks. Well, I have no time to post photos or log in deviantART. I felt terrible because I was so tired a few hours ago, but after some additional hours of work, I'm too stressed to sleep well.

The Recently Disqualified Miss Universe Canada ...

 Jenna, Talackova, 23 years old, one of the finalists of Miss Universe Canada



This has been going around on the Internet, but ... OMG, she was a boy!

Jenna Talackova was ousted from the Miss Universe Canada contest only because she is transgender.

This just shows how narrow-minded and unjust those people are. She is a woman!
What are they picking and fussing about when there is a trans looking like this?
Jenna said she will not give up and will continue to fight for her rights.

You can sign a petition to support Miss Talackova:

Open將擬人版

在網上逛逛結果看到這個。

為什麼Open將會是那樣啊XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
說實在在大家都想畫日式美型的情況下他還真突出咧!

The 3-Variable Sexuality Spectrum Test

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-3-variable-sexuality-spectrum-test
Got it from my sister's Tumblr. (Not meant for serious XD)
Seriously, I smelled Kinsey.

I didn't know my asexuality is lower than the average ... (It means more sexual than average, uh, I guess it means think about and want sex more ...) And I never dated, so yea.

Most queer people probably say they don't like to be pigeonholed. But I do!

P. S. If I answered "no" to "have you been attracted to someone of the opposite gender", I'd lie. But, how would you categorize slashers?

Trying New Digital Technique

I can't draw realistic people so I let the computer do the job for me.

http://eusoniptera.deviantart.com/art/DMT-Realism-279116671
http://eusoniptera.deviantart.com/art/LSD-Realism-279116861

Because I don't have good skills and because they keep that not-entirely-realistic proportion, they look kind of creepy. =P

Inspired by those realistic versions of or untooned cartoon characters.
