Watch Snow White and the Witch in Teochew

Here is a cartoon video of the Snow White tempted by the evil queen to eat the apple, in Chinese dialect Teochew. Not only it reminds me of the event in Garden of Eden, but why is Snow White so naive and foolish, a mere un-proven promise of happiness from eating the fruit also can believe. Via

Intorducing Vintage Comic: A Contract with God

From Wikipedia. It is often erroneously called the first graphic novel, or the first work to describe itself as such. It is nonetheless an early landmark of the form, and critically lauded in its own right. The kind of comic I like.

A Contract with God, Will Eisner.

Richard Heek's amazing set of bubble photos on Flickr

He says on his Flickr,

"I think this is approaching perfection, in terms of what I set out to capture. Maybe nail varnish would complete this. ;-) There's something so satisfying about picturing something in your head and then finally seeing it on the camera!"

I think this is perfect! It is the most fantastic photo of bubble burst moment I ever seen captured.

We are really so different that peace is impossible between us?

Watch upcoming D-9. District 9 is a different kind of Alien movie. Where it was no longer about how human fought against invading Alien, and miraculously gained final victory. It is instead, about Alien seeking refuge among us, and how it ended.

World first synthetic Human sperm. Next, world first synthetic baby from it.

Professor Karim Nayernia and his team at New castle may have a break through. To grow human sperm from embryonic stem cells alone. The Synthetic sperm swims with head and tail, with some of the biological characteristics of real sperm. However, a change in the law would require, because the use of such in-vitro derived (IVD) sperm for reproduction was banned in Britain by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act last year.

From Times Online,

"Professor Nayernia said the IVD sperm have key traits of real sperm, including a haploid nucleus that has 23 chromosomes, instead of the 46 found in non-reproductive cells. “These cells are haploid, they have tails and a head, and they swim,” he said. “The only cells in the body that are like that are sperm.”"

This solved a millennium question of whether the chicken or the egg exist first. But science would only be possible if there is already a law exist in the nature.
