Don’t miss Carnival of the Cats #136 – Halloween 2006 Edition.

I want to run right out and adopt this Welsh corgi pup.  Check out those tiny legs.

This is a fun video.  If you ever wanted to see how things react when a bullet passes through them, this slow-motion study will definitely satisfy you.

You have to see today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day.  Very cool.  It’s a daylight view of the crescent moon and crescent Venus hovering above a few wispy clouds.  It’s seems like the view from another planet.

While you’re are it, take a look at today’s Earth Science Picture of the Day.  It shows lightning damage.  Read the explanation to see the best explanation for why the lawn looks like it does after the strike.  Also, look at the hi-res photo to see more details than are visible in the smaller version.

This is an excellent read concerning the government’s extension of Daylight Saving Time beginning next year and how little impact it will actually have on America’s energy use.  When you get to the second page, you’ll see how a great impact would be felt if the government simply forced car makers to increase fuel efficiency by one mile per gallon.
