- I’m a little troubled by Canada’s science minister, who won’t confirm or deny if he believes in evolution on religious grounds. [via]
- Do you remember arcades? Apparently, kids these days don’t know what they were like. I feel old. [via]
- Charlie Brown as anime. This is pretty damn terrific. I also love this comics archetype times table. Ack! Zombie platypus! [via]
- You’ve no doubt heard by now that the Sci-Fi Channel is changing its name. I can’t really build up any excitement one way or another about this — much like with a lot of their programming lately — but I do think it’s worth noting that, as John Scalzi points out, their new name “Syfy” is a term used for veneral disease in Poland.
- I really like Dan Meth’s Series Of Pop-Cultural Charts, including the sitcom map of the United States and New York. (I work somewhere around 30 Rock and My Two Dads.) You know the scary thing, though? There’s not a single entry in his Sitcom Houses breakdown where I didn’t immediately have an image of the house in my head.

The idea of a kid not knowing what an arcade feels like (let alone smells like) boggles my mind. Quick – we need to open one. With slightly sticky floors, Frogger, and Afterburner.
Did you really need that map to tell you you work near 30 Rock? Isn’t it, like, an actual building?
Plus, he totally forgot Mr. Belvidere, which was set in my home town.
Actually, it would have been pretty cool if he had just input all those locations into a Google Maps database… *goes off to do that*
Heather: I am so there!
Victor: It was more to let other people know the general area of NYC where I work. 30 Rockefeller Center is a little far from me, but it’s within pretty easy walking distance.
Mr. Belvedere would have been a left-right, living room/kitchen setup, as I recall.
You know, I’ve never actually seen the show, I just know it was set in good old Beaver Falls, PA.
Also, it’s not finished, but here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=102653065452931684775.000465ad101f825bcfa2f&z=3
Oh good, if there was one thing Peanuts was seriously lacking, it was breasts.
