Still Cool As A Zombie, by Annie Adderall
And they’re still moving
but are they’re breathing?
I listen to the plan that I’m told.We gotta get to the AC,
past all the zombies.
Gotta make the library real freakin` cold.Lose some friends,
lose them fast.
Blink of an eye
and pulled through glass.Seems dodgin` cats
has become the trend.
Be the first black guy
to make it to the end.And oh, oh, oh what’s this that I see?
Jeff Winger — still cool as a zombie.Out through the window
Circle around the school.
Find the Dean in a panic’d state.And you’ll stand real assured,
dressed as a total nerd.
Ready to kickpunch some zombie face.Turns out things don’t go so smooth,
Maybe shouldn’t have worn that cardboard suit.
Didn’t think it’d all end so soon.
“Hey, congratz, you did what zombies do.”And oh, oh, oh what’s this that I see?
Jeff Winger — still cool as a zombie.
And oh, oh, oh a tip from me.
Never ever eat any army rationed taco meat.
And oh, oh, oh what’s this that I see?
Jeff Winger — still cool as a zombie.
Britta bot vs Tokyo, by Annie Adderall
Britta bot is on her way to Japan
Trying to escape the long arm of the man
And Tokyo looks like a good place to seek cover.
Hipster cloak and dagger.She thinks her attempts at the language are pretty swell
considering she pick up all her phrases from a girl in a well
but it’s a joke to watch her try and haggle.
Or buy a bagull.Oh Britta bot,
It’s like a curse.
And she thinks a lot
What it’d be like not to be the worst.
M1 - The Crab Nebula
I’ve not yet been lucky enough to look at this cloud of ionized gas, but this mosaic of pictures taken by the Hubble Space Telescope definitely suffices.
The Crab Nebula is all that is left from SN 1054, a supernova recorded in 1054 CE by Chinese astronomers. The event was said to be so bright that it was even visible during daylight hours for 23 days.
M1 truly is a beautiful corpse of a star that met its violent end.

The most spectacular photograph of last weekend’s Lyrid meteor shower
It’s only fitting that one of the most breathtaking photographs of this weekend’s Lyrid meteor shower would be captured from the rim of Oregon’s Crater Lake.
Last weekend’s dark, moonless nights made for some of the best meteor-spotting conditions in close to a year — conditions astrophotographer Brad Goldpaint had planned to take full advantage of, had it not been for Oregon’s crummy weekend weather. He claims to have spotted just one meteor the entire night, but if the photograph up top is any indication [click here for higher res], it was definitely worth the wait. Besides, I’d imagine it’s pretty hard to be bummed about a lack of meteor activity when your default backdrop is an absurdly beautiful view of the Milky Way.

TRIFECTA The International Space Station streaks through this lovely skyview with clouds in silhouette against the fading light of a sunset. Captured from Stuttgart, Germany last Sunday, the frame also includes the Moon, just past its “new” phase. Just below and left of the young crescent is Jupiter, another bright celestial beacon hovering near the western horizon in early evening skies. (Photo: Stefan Seip via NASA APOD)
