Epsilon Eridani

It’s the name of a nearby solar system that just might be habitable. It’s located about 10.5 light years from our sun, so even though we’re not going to get there anytime soon, that is still pretty close. SETI scientist Dana Backman said that the system kinda looked like our own solar system used to look like when life first originated on earth, so Epsilon Eridani might therefore show us whether the evolution of our solar system is what typically happens, or if it was a one in a billion shot…

You’ve Got Mail!

And an STD… It’s the latest craze, you can now notify people you have had sex with that you have an STD with just a couple of mouse clicks. From this site you can send out eCards (you know, e-mail cards) to all your friends informing them that they might want to go and get tested for STDs. Some of these cards are hilarious, and here are just a few examples:

I got screwed while screwing, you might have too.

Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason. I got diagnosed with STDs since we played. 

You’re too hot to be out of action. I got diagnosed with STDs since we played. 

No one wants to be the bearer of bad news…but I got diagnosed with STDs. (You might have one too)

Got laid. Was happy. Got tested. Wasn’t healthy. 

Wouldn’t you just love to get one of those in your inbox?
