However, seeing a total eclipse is apparently one of those must-do-at-least-once-in-your-life sorts of activities. Given that the Earth is mostly water and total eclipses are rare, you're very lucky if you don't...

The technological singularity is a theoretical future point which takes place during a period of accelerating change, at which everything goes completely insane. We're talking hyperintelligent machines, radical biological control, effective immortality, extreme mind-machine interfacing, space colonies, and nanobot-everything. It's going...

It's the end of the world as we know it! Will we feel fine? Come party like it's 12/31/1999!
