The Many Faces Of Patrick Stewart
This promotional piece by Tom Whalen for Away Mission:Orlando features Patrick Stewart in his many, many roles. I think the Captain Picard/Professor X mashup totally makes him look like Locutus of Borg. (Via)

#Greenfieldism
Baroness Susan Greenfield is a UK neuroscientist known for her evidence-free predictions about how the Internet is going to turn us all into a bunch of mental and social cripples. Defending some of her views in an interview with The Guardian she said, "I point to the increase in autism and I point to internet use. That's all." This ridiculous statement (with the help of science writer Carl Zimmer) has started a new hashtag trend: #greenfieldism. Here are some of the best.

Old-timey German 'Noseformer' Ad
The delightfully painful-looking "Zello Noseformer" promises to correct your 'Saddle Nose', your 'Duckbill Nose' or even your 'Potato Nose' to the much more attractive (much more Aryan) 'Greco-Roman Normal Form.' And all for the low, low price of 5-10 Marks. That's fine, Germany. Just don't let that whole 'racial purity' thing get out of hand, okay?

Legos In Space
When NASA's Juno probe leaves Earth this Friday for Jupiter, there will be three very special aluminum friends hopping a ride. This just in: NASA is sending a probe to Jupiter this Friday. Which proves that just because the shuttle is grounded for a few years, it's no reason to stop exploring our cosmic neighborhood. (Via space.com & GeekDad)

Is the Catholic Church a Force for Good?
An animated short about whether the Catholic Church is a force for good in the world or not. On one side of the debate is conservative UK politician and novelist Ann Widdecombe who believes that without the Catholic church there would be much more suffering in the world. Unfortunately she's up against the much more poignant Stephen Fry who skillfully and vociferously destroys Widdecombe's arguments. If you like theological debates and animation, this will be the best 10 minutes of your day. (Via)
