Happy Apocalypse Day!

Well, we're all still here thus far!  I already devised my own doomsday scenario for the Choose Your Own Apocalypse Blogfest and posted it on my writing blog.  Check it out if you like!

On this blog, I felt I had to acknowledge this important day with some celebratory videos.  This first one explains why we're still here.  That is, unless The Doctor actually saved us.

This video doesn't address all of the doomsday theories, but it does show real science taking down the mumbo jumbo of pseudoscience!

I also thought this next video was hilarious!  It also contains useful tips in case the apocalypse does squeeze its way in by the end of the day.  After all, if the world does end, you want to preserve the moment!

Star Wars Day 2012!

As some of you may know, or may not know for that matter, today is Star Wars Day!  "May the fourth be with you" is popping up everywhere geeks dare to go.  And with the recent arrest of Obiwan Kenobi for hit and run,  it's obvious that Star Wars still has a loyal legion of fans, even when they're not the most law abiding citizens.  But remember, the Rebels were lawbreakers too.  Of course, they did so in order to fight evil, so it's not the same as hit and run, now is it?

How should loyal friends celebrate this day?  There are a number of suggestions available, but the obvious choice of watching the saga for the millionth time is always acceptable.  It's just good to have the excuse, isn't it?

The Empire Strikes Earth!

As someone who loves both Star Trek and Star Wars, as well as poking fun of the supposed apocalypse of 2012, I thought this video was kind of fun. A lot of people have wanted a collaboration between the two science fiction masterpieces. Well, here it is.

When thinking about which force (he he) would win, the Empire or the Enterprise, I realized those Borg spheres kind of resemble a smaller version of the Death Star. If that's a valid comparison, then the Enterprise would kick some serious butt! The only question that remains is this: which captain would you want at the helm?
