Is chivalry dead?

In a nutshell: yes. Or, at least, it has gone into a kind of hiding, and is only brought out when the potential object of the chivalrous action(s) has demonstrated herself to be worth the effort.

That’s my takeaway, at any rate. Add in your thoughts in the comments.

Antimatter produces anti-gravity?

Apparently, yes.

Possibly the most amazing time-lapse photography you will ever see…

GOG is celebrating the expansion of their Atari catalogue…

…by selling their entire collection of [insert word here] Quest games at massive discounts this weekend. Which, by the way, are Activision-owned titles.

    Very cool stuff here. My favorite is the antimatter article. I love physics (although I am not trained in the field) and constantly wonder and watch shows about the nature of the universe.

    Oh yes.. and chivalry is NOT dead. Not when idealists such as myself, still exist. 🙂

    Philologus: . Glad you believe chivalry is not dead; I do as well. I like your style.

    Like any worthwhile thing, chivalry is hard to find but worth the effort.
