Sometimes a joke is just too obvious

Case in point:

Giant Methane Storms on Uranus

Heh heh. You said “meth.”

[A]ll we have previously known about the atmosphere of Uranus has been ’thrown to the wind’ with observations made last year.

This Week in WTF, February 13, 2015

I have gotten very far behind on this particular blog series, so here is a quick roundup of what I meant to post over the past few months (part 3 of 3).

– Austerity goes too far: I know kids’ birthday parties can be hella expensive, and it’s awfully rude to say your kid will be there and then just not show up. That said, I’m pretty sure it still violates some clause of the social contract to invoice the kid for the cost of his share of the party. Seriously, they didn’t send a bill to the parents—they gave it directly to a five-year-old.

– Suck it, Goonies: I once found a pipe that was part of an old gas line buried in my backyard. I never found buried pirate treasure or anything. These kids in California found a buried Ferrari.

I’m unsure of the provenance of this photo, because at some point prior to it being posted to Imgur, someone blurred the watermark. For shame.

Music from Space

Thanks to my wife buying a new Subaru with built-in satellite radio and a trial subscription, I was able to get a device for free to put in my 9 year-old clunker (by comparison) of a car. The radio arrived in the mail today.

That’s right, folks.

Shit’s about to get Sirius.
