Unnecessary Dairy Overlap
As Gristina will happily tell you (he may still even have that book about it) Tessellation is the Tom Sawyer of geometry. Tom Sawyer = Posted.

Six Surefire Ways to Get Lectured by Internet Commenters
While we will occasionally get a good discussion thread happening here at HRToTM, over the years it seems more like our rabid readership is far more content to quietly consider the stuff we put up on our little site and keep their comments to themselves.
As such, we sidestep some of the more annoying trends that accompany sites with more active talkback strings (read: Firsties), but like everyone else on the web -- we're certainly aware of it, and have even probably taken part in a few ourselves.
As a result, I found this particular article really interesting in the ways it discusses the five most common ways that discussion threads almost always veer off track into petty name-calling and arguments -- which I think says a lot about internet culture itself.
And then -- as you should expect, the talkback thread after the post takes the whole thing and runs it into the ground.
See what you think -- and feel free to leave some comments afterward :)

Still, good stuff.

I think there are some they missed. Please post them in the comments.

Meep in the Meep
There's apparently a new Muppet Movie in the works, which, if this little viral teaser is any indication -- should be fun.
But until that shows up on the screen, enjoy this perfect snapshot of YouTube culture, brought to you by a couple of old friends.

Axe Cop
Created and written by a 5-year old with help from his 29-year old artist brother -- Axe Cop is all at once awesome and irrefutable proof as to why the imagination of a child is still the best thing in the entire world.
