Titanic Touchdown
Have you been keeping up on the probe that landed on Saturn's moon, Titan? It's fascinating stuff if you want to read about it. Yahoo news is nice that it keeps recent articles grouped, with links to other news sources. It can be found here.
Can you imagine that? Rivers and lakes of liquid methane? Really cool stuff.
But.. did you notice that picture I put above? I was thinking a little bit about Hollywood and stereotypes. Those guys are what the real scientist types look like. They do NOT look like Russell Crowe. They look like a bald Indian with a bad mustache, and a middle aged nerd with a bad comb-over. Why don't hot chicks go for brilliant minds?
Sometimes I wonder if physical beauty and intelligence are inversely proportional. Consider Albert Einstein, and Steven Hawking. Consider Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Hmmmm...
If you had to pick.. a beautiful mind or a beautiful body, which would it be? I think I'd pick the beautiful body. Ignorance is bliss.. plus you get laid a lot..
