    In the 1970′s, Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill, with the help of NASA Ames Research Center and Stanford University, held a series of studies which explored the possibilities of humans living in giant orbiting spaceships. More of their results here.

    At ranches in Texas like this one, you can hunt zebra, wildebeest, and rare antelopes that are extinct in the wild.

    Packages include… all the food you can eat, snacks and beverages for the hunt, and your own personal experienced guide … high quality blinds… and [a] safari-styled vehicle. … Our expert guides will field dress, cape, and handle your trophy processing needs.

    Though animal rights groups are working hard - with some success - to shut these resorts down, some animals, like the Scimitar Oryx, would be virtually extinct without them.

    Is the best way to save a species really to allow John Q. McDonalds to shoot one from the window of his RV?

    Hate to say it, but… yes?

    Beethoven, he learned, was a proud man who believed absolutely in his own abilities and never bothered to flatter the nobility. Believing that art itself, and the proper expression of emotions, was the most sublime thing in the world, he thought political power and wealth served only one purpose: to make art possible.
