The obvious answer is because monkey island is fucking awesome game, but also it's a question I get asked by the unenlightened misanthropes who have never played monkey island (but really that question is fair enough, it's a weird name, and looks especially weird as my xbox live gamertag).
What I'd like to do with this blog is to really explore why, and just why we are so keen to find out, why? I myself constantly question everything all the time (much to the annoyance of my teachers), I'm never satisfied with an answer without a question. So I will be posting all the interesting stuff that I can find, or think, which really me makes me ask why?

How Long Can a Human Live Unprotected In Space? →

If you don’t try to hold your breath, exposure to space for half a minute or so is unlikely to produce permanent injury. Holding your breath is likely to damage your lungs, something scuba divers have to watch out for when ascending, and you’ll have eardrum trouble if your Eustachian tubes are…

Surrealist Max Ernst, what a tripping G. I love the detail in this painting, imagine how long it took him to paint that, especially as its 43 x 56 ” that’s like the size of a desk…

Eric Carlin's resignation letter to the ACMD →

Eric Carlin was the 7th member of the ACMD (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs) who resigned shortly after mephedrone was banned in the UK. Although I’m not saying that I disagree with with that particular decision, I do have a problem with the governments drug policies and the outdated attitude they still retain towards recreational drug use.

Finally, robots that can walk properly →

These robots are built by Boston dynamics, one of them is a bipedal humanoid pair of legs, that can walk on a treadmill in the lab, but is still impressive when you see what it can do. The other is a quadruped by the name of Big Dog, this can walk in real life situations including steep inclines, ice, and a technician with a lot of faith in his several million dollar project…
