Here are some humorous or otherwise interesting tidbits from my inbox<\/a> and aggregator<\/a> this morning:<\/p>\n

From the national headquarters of Tau Beta Pi, the Engineering honor society, in their Welcome email:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uh… anonymously? My brain hurts.<\/p>\n

From the Official Google Blog<\/a>:<\/strong> Women and minorities entering their senior year of undergrad or any year of graduate school in technology are eligible to apply for a scholarship sponsored by Google. The scholarship is called, I kid you not, the Anita Borg Scholarship. How awesome is that?<\/p>\n

From the New York Times:<\/strong> 1 in 8 New Yorkers is diabetic. Holy crap. That’s way<\/em> higher than I had imagined, as well as way higher than the national average (7% according to The American Diabetes Association<\/a>)<\/p>\n

From Space.com<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAPE CANAVERAL – About three dozen people assembled at the spaceport Saturday to protest this month’s planned launch of a plutonium-powered space probe bound for Pluto.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

36 people? Are you kidding? The protest is over the use of nuclear power for spacecraft, which carries a 1 in 350 risk of distributing nuclear material in the event of a launch vehicle explosion during takeoff. I get that people are concerned, plutonium being released into the atmosphere is no light matter, but come on. 36? That probably isn’t even enough to form a picket line all the way across the gate they set up camp by. I don’t think NASA is going to be overly moved. Stay tuned Jan. 17 for the launch of the Pluto mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
