Dr. Uwe E. Reinhardt of Princeton University is an expert on the economics of health care. He's a widely-sought speaker on the topic and has published regularly in the New York Times to an audience of millions. By his own admission, he has no idea what he's talking about. So Dr. Reinhardt has decided to instead teach about Korean television dramas, of which he has watched many:
Inevitably, some of aspects of his former profession are creeping into his current one. He describes how Korean dramas depict hospitals:
This is all most likely a joke, as Dr. Reinhardt appears to still be employed by Princeton University as a professor of economics. -via Marginal Revolution  | ||||||||

| The 11 Greatest Accountants in Science Fiction and Fantasy Posted: 13 Jul 2015 02:00 AM PDT
In the universe of The Tick, Arthur is a pudgy and socially awkward accountant who leaves that line of work to become a superhero. Or at least a sidekick. His moth suit, which permits him to glide through the air, gives him the pretext to become one. His superhero name is . . . Arthur. He's still a good accountant. He loses his job at the firm only because he won't dress in business attire. He's 1 of 11 notably successful accountants in science fiction and fantasy, including The Bursar from the Discworld universe, Leland Owlsley from Dardevil, and Petyr Baelish from Game of Thrones. You can read about all of them at Tor. | ||||||||
| Here's What Sterling Archer Thinks About Comic-Con Posted: 13 Jul 2015 01:00 AM PDT Archer is a big fan of drinking, womanizing and doing “spy stuff”, pretty much exactly in that order. However, Archer isn’t a fan of Comic-Con, and he has no problem telling poor Pam how stupid it is to go see panels and movie sneak peeks. In the process that mean drunk crushes Pam's dream of cosplaying as Immortan Joe... So why does the Duchess of the Danger Zone have such a problem with all the Comic-Con geekery? Who gives a crap, he's a cartoon! (Video contains NSFW-ish language) -Via Entertainment Weekly | ||||||||
| The Strangest Ice Cream Flavor From Every State Posted: 13 Jul 2015 12:00 AM PDT Looking for a cool way to cool down on your next fifty-state road trip? Then you won't want to miss this great Delish article that features the strangest flavor of ice cream available in each state. As you might expect, not every state has particularly kookie flavors (Alabama, is black walnut really the wackiest you can come up with), but even so, there are plenty of outrageous tastes worth trying. Personally, I'd love to try Louisiana's champagne and violet or Kansas' pineapple cilantro sorbet, but I admit that I'm a little terrified of New York's horseradish flavor and Maine's lobster ice cream served with real chunks of lobster. | ||||||||
| The Light Will Be with You Always Posted: 12 Jul 2015 10:00 PM PDT Derek VanCauwenbergh, a stained glass artist in Sandusky, Ohio, makes shiny things for geeks of every fandom. He made this beautiful arm lamp that he turned out so well that he's decided to build the rest of Artoo, too! You can find more of his work on Etsy and Instagram. -via Geek Crafts | ||||||||
| Posted: 12 Jul 2015 08:00 PM PDT In the late 1960s, counterculture youth known as hippies swelled the population of San Francisco and surrounding areas. They were rebelling against the middle-class life and sensibilities of their parents and looking for a new way to live. In 1969, photographer Joe Samburg moved there to join his brother Frank in Berkeley.
They banded together for acceptance and unity, but when a population reaches a critical mass, it will share problems as well as benefits. And the biggest problem the hippies shared was drugs. Read an account of those days from photographer Joe Samberg (who is, incidentally, comedian Andy Samberg’s father) and see his photographs of the era, at the Atlantic. -via Daily of the Day | ||||||||
| Mind Blowing Pen And Ink Illustrations By Paul Jackson Posted: 12 Jul 2015 06:00 PM PDT Pen and ink illustrations can be called mind-blowing in terms of realism and fine detail, but these incredibly detailed animal illustrations by Paul Jackson, many of which feature an animal's mind literally being blown right out of its skull! Paul is clearly a student of animal anatomy, as every detail in his drawings is spot on, and even though the subject matter may seem a bit morbid there's a playful quality to his works which softens the science.

| 10 Tombs of Unknown Soldiers around the World Posted: 12 Jul 2015 04:00 PM PDT
In 1931, artisans began work on the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. They inscribed on the outside, "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God." One unidentified American soldier who perished in World War I was laid to rest there. In later years, other American soldiers from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War were also interred in the tomb. Regardless of the weather, a sentinel always stands watch over it, to honor the fallen and enforce public decorum.
America's Tomb of the Unknowns is not the only such place of honor in the world, nor was it even the first. Many nations across the world have carefully crafted and guarded tombs for unnamed fallen soldiers. Pictured above is that for Greece located in Athens. It is guarded 24 hours a day. The changing of the guard ceremony is a carefully choreographed and physically demanding task. These are 2 of 10 tombs for unknown soldiers from around the world rounded up by Amusing Planet, including those in Iraq, Egypt, Canada, the UK, Belgium, and Russia. | ||||||||

| A Busy Night on Murchison Drive Posted: 12 Jul 2015 02:00 PM PDT Police were called twice from nearby locations on July 2nd because two neighbors both like pizza. You can imagine that neighborly relations are a bit strained because of the mix-up, but we receive the benefit of the juxtaposition of reports in the local police blotter. -via Arbroath | ||||||||
| What 11 Famous Voice Actors Look Like, from Scooby Doo to Siri Posted: 12 Jul 2015 01:00 PM PDT Some of the most frequently heard voices on television, film and others we experience in our everyday lives courtesy of advertising, customer service recordings or electronic devices belong to people we'd not recognize if we saw them on the subway. This article links to videos of the faces behind popular and often heard voices, from those of airport announcements and movie trailers to that of Siri, Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob, Mario, a beloved Muppet and more. | ||||||||
| John Lewis Cosplays as Himself During the March from Selma Posted: 12 Jul 2015 12:00 PM PDT
Congressman John Lewis represents Georgia's fifth Congressional district. Fifty years ago, he was a leader of the African-American civil rights movement and participated in the famous March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Yesterday, he appeared at the San Diego Comic Con in cosplay. Congressman Lewis portrayed himself--50 years ago. He wore the same trench coat and backpack that he wore during the March from Selma. | ||||||||
| A Collection Of Illustrated Grooming Guides For Men Posted: 12 Jul 2015 11:00 AM PDT Some guys are in need of a little help when it comes to grooming, and that’s not necessarily their fault. They just didn’t receive the proper guidance as they grew up, and were never told that growing facial hair is an art form, and beards and moustaches should be chosen according to the shape of your face. They may also have missed out on this lesson in nail trimming etiquette, which we should all probably print out and bring along with us, especially when riding public transportation! Luckily, this very informative collection of 21 Grooming Charts Every Guy Needs To See has all the answers guys need to clean up their act! | ||||||||
| Thomas Mailaender's Sunburn Art Posted: 12 Jul 2015 10:00 AM PDT Artist Thomas Mailaender was once described as "an insatiable and compulsive collector of photographs and sociological patterns." For his project titled Illustrated People, Mailaender selected old photographic negatives from the Archive of Modern Conflict and placed them on the skin of volunteers. By shining a UV lamp over them, he sunburned the images onto their bodies. You can see more examples from the series at Juxtapoz. Content warning: a smidgen of artistic nudity. | ||||||||
| Posted: 12 Jul 2015 08:00 AM PDT The Cyberpunk subgenre isn’t just about mankind losing touch with our humanity thanks to an (often biological) link with machines, it’s also about discovering how we can remain human as tech overruns our lives, and an individual as the mega-corps take over the planet. This search for humanism in a world where tech is fully integrated into our lives is what comes to mind as I look at these simply wonderful images by Adrian Dadich, a concept artist from Australia. Adrian's illustrations capture the Cyberpunk aesthetic perfectly, demonstrating how people will look when tech is integrated into their bodies and how these “upgrades” will forever change the standard of beauty.

| The 10 Most Expensive Whiskeys in the World Posted: 12 Jul 2015 07:00 AM PDT
This is no rotgut! Four carefully selected stocks from Dalmore's reserves ranging from 1868 through 1939 were combined to form a select blend of some of the finest Scotch whisky in the world. And it had better be at $164,100 per bottle! That's a lot, but it's not even close to the most expensive whiskey in the world. You can find more delicious-looking and extremely costly whiskeys at First We Feast. | ||||||||
| <i>Game of Thrones</i> Audition Reel Posted: 12 Jul 2015 06:00 AM PDT Now that Comic-Con International is happening in San Diego, the bonuses are being tossed. One such bone throw was at the Game of Thrones panel, in which this audition tape of various cast members was presented. Never has a carrot been so ingenius. Via BuzzFeed |
