The end of an era.

The end of an era

VHS tapes for sale at Fry's.  They've stopped making them, so once everyone's inventories are gone, they will become rare items.

[travel] Microdong

I type "usd to vnd" (vnd = Vietnamese Dong) into Google and get the following engineer-friendly result.

1 Vietnamese dong = 5.7 × 10-5 U.S. dollars

That's quite a small dong!

A photographer with a physics problem.

The pictures are decently interesting, but the pseudo-science captions are hilarious.

[livejournal.com profile] steuard  notes: Those captions aren't really what I'd call pseudoscience, but rather (apparently) actual titles of papers from the high energy theory preprint arXiv with a few words changed. (The phrases were close enough to "right" that I knew there had to be actual theoretical physicists involved somewhere. I wonder whether the photographer is one of them.)
