Yep, nerdy girls rock. Guys (or lesbians), if you find a girl who is this pretty and who likes all of the geeky guy things that this girl likes, try to marry her as quickly as possible. The next day might not even be too soon.

Sexy Katrina Bowden is a NERD!!! -- Video Proof
Do you like sexy girls? Do you like Katrina Bowden? Do you like nerdy girls who look like Katrina Bowden? Do you like girls who talk about the Star Wars extended universe, manga, and Martha Jones and Dr. Who? Well, if you do, then you will love this original video from College Humor.
Yep, nerdy girls rock. Guys (or lesbians), if you find a girl who is this pretty and who likes all of the geeky guy things that this girl likes, try to marry her as quickly as possible. The next day might not even be too soon.

Who's More Pro-Science, Republicans or Democrats? - Neil deGrasse Tyson
Check out this interesting analysis on which part is more pro-science in Washington D.C. -- the republicans or the democrats. The analysis is by Dr. Neil Tyson, and the answer may surprise you.
One of the interesting things that Dr. Tyson said during the video (paraphrasing) is that talk is cheap but money talks. I agree. However, one of the points that Tyson seems to have missed is that the congress also has a huge say in how the budget money is spent, much more so than even the president at times. When a Republican is in the White House, there tends to be a Democratic congress to balance that, and vice versa. So, I'm not so sure that it's easy to say that one party or the other supports/suppresses science when it comes to spending money.
In terms of rhetoric for or against science, there is a CLEAR winner.

Opinion: Who should get Osama Bin Laden's 25 Million Dollar Bounty?
Image via WikipediaBefore I get to the answer to this question, let me first explore three obvious possibilities for how the bounty should be used and give a little commentary on each of them. These possibilities are listed below:
1. The United States government: This is one possible option for the reward to be distributed, but not a very good one in my opinion. 25 million compared to the annual budget of the U.S. is nothing, something akin to an ordinary person finding a quarter in the vending machine coin return. Even though it might sound good for PR (and I'm sure a few Tea Party types will mention it), I think the money should go to a better cause than something cheesy like paying off the national debt or given as as part of a tax refund.
2. The victims of the 911 attacks: Here again, this is a seemingly good move on paper, but I also think it has a few problems. First, the reward is for information leading to his capture or death. As much as the families of the 911 victims suffered from the terrorist attacks, they didn't directly aid in Bin Laden's capture. Also, this would ignore the suffering of other people, both here and throughout the world, that have suffered at the hands of Bin Laden. What about the families of the victims of the bombing of the USS Cole or the African Embassy bombings?
3. The JSOC and SEAL team: To me, this option makes the most sense. These -- the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and the Navy Seals Team 6 -- are the folks directly involved in Bin Laden's execution. Why not give them both the credit AND a small monetary reward? Divided among the approximately 5000 people thought to work for JSOC and in the SEALS team, this would work out to about 5000 dollars a piece -- enough for a nice vacation for the employees' families.
What are your thoughts on what people should do with the money? Leave your ideas below.
