Wikipedia:Getting to Philosophy
Bearing in mind I spend most of my life in Wikipedia, it's safe to say "Philosophy" will be the last posting on Yattix.com.
[...read more]Pathological science
Really just a polite way of saying "bullsh*t", it's science that isn't scientific, but people believe it anyway.

I'm wearing mine right now! I can tell that you're not, though. And so can the government.

A nice Russian lady who can look inside your body and describe your internal organs to you. Bit of a mood-killer on a date, mind you.
[...read more]Exploding animal
An utterly fantastic name for your next heavy metal band, and a curious natural phenomena.
The explosion of animals is an uncommon event arising through natural causes or human activity.

The tree, also called the Jackson Oak, is located at the corner of South Finley and Dearing Streets in Athens, Georgia, United States.

Both trees have appeared in numerous national publications, and the site is a local landmark. [...read more]
