Logical Paradoxes - StumbleUpon 23 Perplexing Band Name Meanings Explained With the new Fountains of Wayne album dropping tomorrow, it’s good to have their name back in the rotation. But let us indulge our inner Shakespeare as we ask what, exactly, is in a name? Are Fountains of Wayne named after some elaborate waterworks cluster depicting Wayne Campbell in various poses: The “Shwing,” The “Party On,” The “Dream Sequence,” you get the idea…? The power poppers in Fountains of Wayne are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the seemingly nonsensical world of band names. 30 Seconds To Mars In a surprisingly nerdy origin story, 30 Seconds To Mars, the name of Jared Leto’s band, was taken from part of a lecture about humans and exponential advances in technology. 50 Cent Why not go for a full dollar?

MIT Paper Works out Paradox; Fry may not be own Grandfather - The Blogs at HowStuffWorks It would appear that longstanding and tricky paradox of time travel, that one who travels backward in time could conceivably influence it to the point where the time travel couldn’t have happened is dead. All hail the longstanding and tricky paradox. This, the “grandfather paradox,” is so named because of the thought experiment used to illustrate it. A time traveler could theoretically go back in the past and murder his own grandfather, which would render the time traveler non extant, and thus would lead to the paradox of the time traveler never having been able to go back in time in the first place. Pudding. The same holds true in a less dramatic fashion for subatomic particles like quarks and photons, which hold a much higher likelihood of ever traveling into the past, based on the strange, spooky behavior they’ve demonstrated for the people who’ve studied and been alarmed by them thus far.

Did you know Invisible 'Covert' Drawer Lock Uses Magnets | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - StumbleUpon What’s the most secure place to hide something? A place that’s not there, of course. Or the next best thing, a place that appears not to be there. As with any magic not involving mirrors, the Covert uses magnets. Think about those sliding security chains for doors and you pretty much have the idea. Now, this is more maskirovka than real security, as anyone with a magnet and knowledge of your lock can open it. The Covert is currently in the “upcoming” section of Quirky, which means that it has to be honed and improved before it goes on pre-sale, and then you’ll have to wait for months to actually get one.
