Love And Science For Valentine's Day

Feb 13 2008 | comment(s)

Ahhhh, Valentine's Day. Bad food, shoddy restaurant service - and you have no choice about it. The Soviet Union had toilet paper lines but they didn't force Valentine's Day on its people. Really, anyone who is unsure what mandates accomplish only needs to look at ethanol for a modern comparison of why things suffer when you force a solution on people.

But all is not lost. There's science in love, you know, and that means there's science in Valentine's Day. Science on Valentine's Day is like cold fusion instead of ethanol. Completely wonderful. And we have it all right here.

Half of UK men would swap sex for 50 inch TV. This is the reason why when American men go to the UK the line of women wanting to talk to us can be seen from the space shuttle.

Garth Sundem has an article in the BBC News today on making

Feb 11 2008 | comment(s)

Garth Sundem has an article in the BBC News today on making the correct decisions and will be on Horizon on BBC Two at 2100GMT on Tuesday 12 February to demonstrate. He also has a new book in the works and another baby on the way. So he's pretty prolific all the way around. Excerpt from the BBC News article here.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, don't trust your instincts when it comes to selecting a mate. Human decision making is seriously flawed - but it can be fixed with a few simple sums. Be warned: this article deals primarily with shark attacks, the lottery, beer, and how to get a date using mathematics. Is it a good decision to keep reading?

Oops, there was a Just Science again this year and we missed

Feb 10 2008 | comment(s)

Oops, there was a Just Science again this year and we missed it. Mostly because we do just science every day. But it's nice that it's catching on. I wonder if baseball players have 'just baseball' carnivals? I keep thinking the whole point of science writing is writing science ... more than one time per year.
