Not So Quiet in the Woods Tonight

In a werewolf story I read recently, the protagonist (a werewolf) remarks on her new-found senses. Especially smell: “Urine. So much urine. It never occurred to her how surrounded by piss she was at all times every time she stepped into the woods.” Think on that next time you go

What to See in the Sky This Year

There are some must-see events unfolding in our skies in 2024. Unfortunately, for those in the Southern Hemisphere, some of them won’t be seen, such as the upcoming total solar eclipse over North America. Still, there are a few night-sky spectaculars coming up for us southerners. If you’re

If you ask people who watch a lot of television who the smartest scientist in history was, they’ll almost certainly say either Stephen Hawking or, God help us, Neil deGrasse Tyson. If you’re lucky, they might recall Albert Einstein. But, while at least Hawking was undoubtedly very smart,
