BEHOLD! More science!

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:50:00 -0500

After a slight schedule hiccup last week, I come offering a double feature in today’s installment of “BEHOLD! A Guide for the Aspiring Mad Scientist”. Professor Depravis’s years of experience in handling both mundane flunkies and assemblies of fellow super-scientists are now available for your perusal.

BEHOLD! An update!

BEHOLD! An update!:

Another few pages have been uploaded to my original story/how-to guide to world domination, courtesy of Samuel Frendelson, Chief Assistant to Professor Depravis.

Ha ha ha! SCIENCE!

Ha ha ha! SCIENCE!:

Hey, all. Well, I decided that, for a change of pace, I’d write something original. It’s just a few pages for now, but I’m putting out feelers and seeing what people think. If you’re interested, go check out the first bits of BEHOLD! A Guide for the Aspiring Mad Scientist.

I’m going through the archive of this webcomic and felt the need to share this panel. I swear it makes sense in context.

I made this so I can put it up on my wall. You fellow writers are welcome to do the same.

LOOK AT HIS DISAPPROVING FACE. WRITE. NOW.

Do I look THAT grumpy? I probably do. But I like the sentiment.

Yeah, I really should be. I’m going to have to co-opt Disapproving Gaiman. If this doesn’t get me writing, nothing will.

I DIDN’T LEARN ABOUT THIS IN DRIVING SCHOOL

Stop says the red light, go says the green

Wait says the yellow light, twinkling in between.

KNEEL, SAYS THE DEMON LIGHT
WITH ITS EYE OF COAL
SAURON KNOWS YOUR LICENSE PLATE
AND STARES INTO YOUR SOUL

One does not simply drive into Mordor. Its black tollbooths are staffed by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not park. The great stoplight is ever watchful. It is a barren freeway, riddled with fire, ash, and potholes. The very air you breathe is a poisonous exhaust. Not with ten thousand cars could you do this. It is folly

we-are-star-stuff:

This is the world’s smallest snowman - at 10 micrometres across, it’s only 1/5th the width of a human hair. The tiny guy was made from two tin beads used to calibrate electron microscope astigmatism. The eyes and smile were milled using a focused ion beam, and the nose, which is under 1 µm wide (or 0.001 mm), is ion beam deposited platinum.

So, I decided to view the source code of this Homestuck personality test and saw the following:

"Little is known about the Blood aspect, other than at least one Blood player used his blood as a bonding point, and (through a combination of anger and empathy) tried to hold his failing team together.  As such, Blood could be tied to emotion or kinship.

The Blood player held together his team. Karkat clotted.

…That sounded a lot more profound in my head. :P

totalimmortalbeloved:

From a height of three meters, porcelain figurines are dropped on the ground, and the sound they make when they hit trips the shutter release. The result: razor-sharp images of disturbing beauty—temporary sculptures made visible to the human eye by high-speed photography technology. By Martin Klimas. More here.

First thought: “Wow, that statue’s kung fu is so strong it shattered itself!”

Second thought: “Artifact destruction spell art in under five seconds.”

“It is as beautiful as it is rare. A frost flower is created on autumn or early winter mornings when ice in extremely thin layers is pushed out from the stems of plants or occasionally wood. This extrusion creates wonderful patterns which curl and fold into gorgeous frozen petioles giving this phenomenon both its name and its appearance.”

oak23:

So here is my boyfriend’s Christmas gift, a Companion Cube pony based on the beloved object from Portal. I considered doing a canon pony instead for him, but since he’s a huge gamer and acts uber adorable when Portal is brought up, I figured I would combine his favourite things together. But since I’m not a big gamer myself I had to dig around for a few references and hopefully I captured the look of a companion cube.

Also, I’m not really that good with stripes so this challenged me a lot but I hope he likes her.

Credit [link] for giving me the initial idea and [link] for being a really good reference.

The Weighted Companion Pony will not threaten to stab you, and in fact cannot speak. In the event that the Weighted Companion Pony does speak, disregard its advice.
