2,000 Years of Chinese History! The Mandate of Heaven and Confucius:
Crash Course World History #7
In which John introduces you to quite a lot of Chinese history by
discussing the complicated relationship between the Confucian scholars
who wrote Chinese history and the emperors (and empress) who made it.
Included is a brief introduction to all the dynasties in Chinese
history and an introduction to Confucius and the Confucian emphasis on
filial piety, the role the mandate of heaven played in organizing
China, and how China became the first modern state.
Hank throws three bite-sized stories at ya: the sequencing of 5300-year-old ice man Oetzi’s genome; a confusing mass of dark matter; and how the cleanup of the Fukushima disaster is going one year later.

Schrödinger’s Executive Decision Maker
Why strain your precious thoughts trying to make the right decision, instead leave the choice up to quantum flux! Ask a question with a yes or no question, then open the slot and watch as the simultaneously dead and alive kitty convulses with quantum uncertainty before its molecules arrange themselves, predicting your answer. You’ll never need to make another decision again! Thank you, science and cats of indeterminate quantum states! Available for purchase at thinkgeek for $29.99 USD.
I want, need, desire and crave for this because of reasons.
WANT WANT GIMME.
BUYING THIS SOON ACK
I’m sorry I just really really love Schrödinger’s cat
OH MY GOD. YES.

Deuterosaurus
… a genus of the Therapsids, one of the “mammal-like” reptiles dominating land during the late Palaeozoic. Skulls of Deuterosaurus are well-known from several finds. They were around 80 cm (2 ft 6 in) with a long snout and conical teeth. Like all anteosaurs, the skull possessed long, dagger-like canine teeth. The skull was rather short for an antosaur, with a broad cheek region, indicating a very strong bite. The eyes where partly slanted forward, giving it at least partial stereo vision. The pineal eye, though small, had a well formed opening right atop the brain case.
Deuterosaurus was a very large animal; the size of a modern grizzly bear. T. H. Huxley mistakenly considered it to be a dinosaur. With its long tail, it had an adult length of 5-6 m (15-18 ft) and weighted around half a ton. Judging from related therapsids, the short but massive legs where held sprawling, much like a modern crocodile. When walking, the tail would have swung sideways, like in modern reptiles…
