Aerogel, Smuf communism, ferrofluids, the Nazi rocketplane, the Bobbits, Mehran Karimi Nasseri, a nuclear car, carbon nanotubes, and the Kalinin K-7

Today, we will look at three wondrous technological materials, a couple of unusual aircraft, the man who lived in a Paris airport for 18 years, communism in The Smurfs, the Ford Nucleon, and the wife who sliced off her husband's genitalia.

Caganer, exploding head syndrome, American MiGs, the Boston Molasses Disaster, and rock-paper-scissors lizards

Today we will look at American airmen who pilots Soviet aircraft, the Great Molasses Flood, a Catalan tradition of shitting on the nativity, and exploding head syndrome.

Well to Hell, the Toledo War, supermoon, the straw millionaire legend (and a red peper clip), and being hanged, drawn, and quartered

Today, we look at a particularly vicious method of execution, the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system, the war between Michigan and Ohio, drilling a borehole all the way to hell, and trading from a simple common object to wealth.

Pejoratives, a river of blood, art on the moon, and the legeslation of π

Today's post looks at the Indiana Pi Bill, moon art, Bubbly Creek, and pejoratives.

Super-sized Sunday: KGB assassination, the "steely-eyed missile man", some computer comedy, the BFG 9000, groups of birds, some odd lifeforms, human echolocation, and the Outer Space Treaty

Today, I have quite a number of entries... don't really know why, except that I wrote down some cool stuff I saw on the History and Discovery Channels this weekend, and wanted to share. We will look at the dragon tree, lyrebird, barreleye, Georgi Markov, John Aaron, some funny computer codes, the biggest weapon in the Doom series, collective nouns for birds, the Outer Space Treaty, and humans who use sonar.

Fail-deadly, largest explosions, Soviets on the moon, and a roundhouse kick to the face
