I’ve been listening to the “Physics for Future Presidents” Lecture Series and was amused to hear Prof. Muller state that while he does watch SF movies and can reconcile most of them with existing scientific theories, he simply could not wrap his head around “The Core” – which as I remembered, won the award for worst movie physics ever. You can read about other movie physics offenders here.
PS: I highly recommend the lecture series – it’s entertaining and a great introduction to critical scientific thinking about recent developments, without requiring the listener to have a science background. iTunes link here.
This morning when I went to check my mail, I found a letter postmarked Granada. My first thought “I don’t know anybody in Spain, WTF am I getting a letter from there? Is it one of those scam things?”
Come back home – open up the letter and guess what? I’ve won something in the euro millione (that’s the spelling in the letter) lottery.
And as proof, a piece of paper with fuzzy pictures that are so obviously copy-pasted in word and then printed out using a laser printer.
There is a reference to a Ministry d Economic y Hacienda (The Economics Ministry of the House?? WTF??) and obviously I have to keep this secret.
Finally, obviously, a form I have to fill up and return after which the claim can be “processed”..

I had a good laugh this morning I can tell you that. I only worry about how these buggers got hold of my postal address.. hm?
