All the Geek that’s fit to Ho Ho HO.<\/p>\n

Virtual Worlds Made Easy<\/a><\/strong>
\nAll you need to visit this virtual space is a web browser. Seriously.<\/p>\n

Strange Terrestrial Life<\/a><\/strong>
\nNASA announced that a form of bacterium that uses arsenic instead of sulphur as one of its basic building blocks has been discovered. This is odd because no other form of life on the planet — not mushrooms, not bugs, not animals, not us, not anything (even slime-mold!) — is built that way. Freaky!<\/p>\n

Fly-over of New York City<\/strong>
\nYou’re expecting this to be some footage from 1982 or something, right? I mean, come on! Who can do a fly-over of NYC in this day and age? These guys, that’s who. In an RC airplane at 7am in the morning (when regular air traffic is light). And sure, the TSA and NYC police talked to them — but no arrests or nasty exchanges. Amazing!<\/p>\n
