Toddler mistakes gun for Wii controller -
Knowing the US legal system (which I don’t, but I have a blog so shut up) new legislation will be brought in to outlaw the Wii controller… or outlaw toddlers… or anything that isn’t the gun.

5 years ago, while I was in undergrad, I wanted to make a 3D film for my cinematography final.
So I did. By gaff taping two Canon GL2s to a quarter apple on a ladder, gaff taped to a doorway dolly.
Here’s one of my couple submissions I made to Casey’s new blog, Hollywood It! This is pretty embarrassing, but you know what, I hope people can realize that you can do whatever you want, with whatever limited resources you have. Don’t let the bling/ca$h money stop you from filmming whatever you want. Whenever you want.
Holy shit, that’s awesome.

“It’s a most peculiar psychology - this business of “Science is based on faith too, so there!” Typically this is said by people who claim that faith is a good thing. Then why do they say “Science is based on faith too!” in that angry-triumphal tone, rather than as a compliment? And a rather dangerous compliment to give, one would think, from their perspective. If science is based on ‘faith’, then science is of the same kind as religion - directly comparable. If science is a religion, it is the religion that heals the sick and reveals the secrets of the stars. It would make sense to say, “The priests of science can blatantly, publicly, verifiably walk on the Moon as a faith-based miracle, and your priests’ faith can’t do the same.” Are you sure you wish to go there, oh faithist? Perhaps, on further reflection, you would prefer to retract this whole business of “Science is a religion too!” — Eliezer Yudkowsky, ‘The Fallacy of Gray’

UK Government committee recommends public funds pulled from homeopathy -
In a stunning move announced this evening Australian time, members of parliament in the UK have recommended that homeopathy be removed from the National Health Service (NHS).
It also concluded that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) should not allow homeopathic product labels to make medical claims without evidence of efficacy. And as they are not medicines, homeopathic products should no longer be licensed by the MHRA.
