^Why I would probably end up dying alone (~~but fuckable~~*ahem*fanboy-fap alert*ahem*).

I just got Mirror's Edge a few days ago (I buy all my games, Agent Smith! I am not a pirate.) and let me warn you: IT WILL CONSUME YOUR IMAGINARY SOUL.

It is fucking awesome...like the Portal kind of awesome. The theme song for Mirror's Edge is also titled Still Alive - how fucking cool is that? Fapfapfap.

Yes, I need to blog real posts before my readers chew my head off, but I'm distracted. Every fucking time I try to sit down and fucking blog something, I head off to the Chans or start playing video games. I FAIL AT LIFE, BAWWWWWWW! I'm a terrible blogger, in b4 'an hero'.

To make up for it, I'm going to be posting a link to this little piece of awesomeness: Methane has been found in Mars' atmosphere. Although we should avoid the 'LOLOL LIFE IS GOING TO BE FOUND ON MARS in the next few seconds' mass media hysteria, we should celebrate the awesomeness of science.

"Right now, we do not have enough information to tell whether biology or geology -- or both -- is producing the methane on Mars," Mumma explained. "But it does tell us the planet is still alive, at least in a geologic sense. It is as if Mars is challenging us, saying, 'Hey, find out what this means.' "

Science is all about finding out the answers to questions about how the world works while religion revels in ignorance. Praise science, indeed.

For now, the hamster speaks:
