…well, not exactly. But it’s an interesting, completely un-scientific look at the correlation between what people list as their favorite music on Facebook and the average SAT score from their school. Weird that I’m so into both Lil’ Wayne AND soca…

finally… moooohwahahahahhaaa!

After more than a decade of work and $3.5 billion, engineers have completed the world’s most powerful laser, capable of simulating the energy force of a hydrogen bomb and the sun itself.

The federal Energy Department will announce Tuesday that it has officially certified the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, clearing the way for a series of experiments over the next year that eventually is hoped will mimic the heat and pressure found at the center of the sun.

Quick lesson here. Bо́ДKA!

Gizmodo compares the Slanket, the Snuggie, the Freedom Blanket, and the Blankoat!!

Here’s what you should take away. Get the Slanket if you’re serious about staying warm while lying on your couch, the Freedom Blanket if you’re not. Nobody anywhere should buy the Snuggie. The Blankoat is for rich people who can afford Icelandic wool. Bathrobes do not work, no matter how much you wish them to.

Thank you, Snuggie, for raising blanket-with-sleeves awareness. Now get out.

The Tesla S is now official (though you can’t actually get one until some time in late 2011).

specs for the EV: this seven-seater can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.6 seconds, boasts a top speed of 120 MPH, features a dashboard display and a 17-inch main touchscreen monitor. It’s fully 3G capable, sports HD and satellite radio, uses LED and neon exterior lights, smart-key power, and push button gear selector. While that $49,900 base price will get you a battery that’s good for 160 miles per charge, 230-mile and 300-mile range packs will be available. On a 220V outlet, the company says it’ll charge in four hours with a 45 minute “QuickCharge” option, and you should be able to swap batteries if necessary in under 8 minutes. Excited? Find a way to control yourself, this baby isn’t going into production in Q3 2011.

Ah, Japan… wtf
