Why Aren’t There More Cancer Vaccines? - Blame America’s lousy patent system. That's ok. Much as with other people's guns, other people's profits are more important than my life. (Via danjite.)

Hot wheels: Wacky engineer fits flamethrower on to mobility scooter - Hahahahah. (Thanks to Ellen Eades.)

BILL WATTERSON: A cartoonist’s advice - Interesting Web site as well. (Vis danjite.)

Headstone for an Apocalypse - (Via Daily Idioms, Annotated.)

Memories of positive associations get written onto DNA - Epigenetic changes in nerve cells keep memories in place.

How To Terraform A Squid - Huh. (Via Daily Idioms, Annotated.)

Measles outbreak tied to Texas megachurch sickens 21 - Stupidity has consequences. This particular brand of stupidity is unfortunately bipartisan.

PBS documentary on concussions leaves ESPN black and blue - A partnership ends with hints of pressure from the NFL. Because as we learned from the immoral bastards at Penn State, football must go on no matter what the cost. Molested children and disabled players are a small price to pay for sports success.

The Relationship Between Lead and Crime - Sigh.

Qotd?: Is the heat, or is it just pain?
