Here is a perfect example of why solipsism is a flawed concept: Have you ever received a compliment (or, heaven forbid an insult) from someone that you knew to be factually inaccurate? Maybe that person is close to you and you believe that they know you deeply. It only adds to the confusion, right? You talk to …
I'm in the middle of reading through Bomb- The Race to Build -- and Steal -- the World's Most Dangerous Weapon and the similarities just now struck me between WW2 and a game of Quidditch, as portrayed in the Harry Potter series. That's all. More on this book after I finish it. I'd love to …
Three men pause 'round a dying fire, Their red eyes burn redder in the quiet. Two have lost some dear thing long admired, No tears remain behind their eyes. One of these men has had a fill of grief, He departs to be happy and different. Another man cannot yet leave, The last man doesn't …

You know the feeling: When you're buying your daily Starbucks coffee and accidentally let the mathematician you've kept entombed in the back of your mind out. Enough of the numbers crunch and you have this epiphany that more money …
Taken from the Marvel Website page on Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face. An excellent read. I hope you remember the dark mood we left on last time because today I want to jump right back in there.
