I'd like to say a big hello to the unwashed masses that have once again tuned in for this week's installment of Understanding the Universe. Undoubtedly you have been on the edge of your seat waiting. Today we try to understand people in yet an other effort to understand the mystery of the nouns (which is in fact composed of multiple mysteries but is alway referred to as a singular mystery as per the post-post modernist handbook). The best way to try to understand people is to put yourself ...

Humans think of bondage as kinky. For some animals however bondage has become a biological necessity. Today I bring you a couple of examples of bondage in the animal kingdom. Life for a blood fluke is a real gamble. First it has to find a host, in fact three hosts. Firstly its eggs hatch and the fluke larva infests a water snail. Then it takes up residence in a fish. Then a human eats the fish and it infests his or her blood stream. So with all this moving about how does it find time f...
In an effort to further the understanding of general public, or mindless peasants, as I prefer to call them, I am continuing this series of enlightening articles. I do this in spite of the fact I truly believe no one is currently smart enough to understand them. I am however an eternal optimist and I think perhaps one of you carbon-based cretins might make a gigantic a evolutionary leap forward in the meantime, so I’ll continue just in case. In an effort to increase your grasp of previousl...

Welcome to part 2 of this thrilling series of articles. Here's what the critics have been saying over the last week: " Lemony Snicket's: A series of unfortunate events had me chuckling away with all the glee of a nun on a seatless bicycle." - Time Magazine "The soup was bland, the main course was poorly conceived and as for how it was executed: it should have been. The service, if you could call it that, was simply atrocious. I'm not entirely sure what language they were speaking but...

Toblerone here, still keepin' it surreal for the unwashed masses. Today I bring you a random article to fill in your long dreary days until the next Understanding the Universe article. It isn't unusual for me to become fixated on a random topic for one or two weeks. For example once several years ago I decided to find out everything I could on Scandinavian Lemmings. Did you know that Lemmings don't really commit suicide? The myth stems from the fact that Lemmings experience a population ...
Hello. Come in, take a seat. No not there, that's where I keep my pile of invisible pine cones. Invisible pine cones? Don't ask stupid questions. Today I would like to talk about the universe. Specifically I would like to explain it to those of you that haven't been paying attention in their " Physics, Metaphysics and Far Side Cartoons: A Guide to Understanding Everything " class, which is now compulsory for any student wishing to become chronically unemployed. Today you may have woke...

I intend this blog to be a strange mix of surrealism, political and personal observations and, of course, smoked salmon milkshakes. A bit about myself: I've recently received a bachelor of science from the Australian National University, I studied wide range of topics in biology and science communication. Next year I am doing a Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary Teaching) at University of Canberra. I also write, draw, paint and sing karaoke really badly without being embarrassed. I...
