A Runaway Robot Makes a Difference for Two Lonely Rabbits in the New Stop-Motion Short ‘TENNIS, ORANGES’

“Somewhere in the world, there’s a quiet street where nothing ever happens,” begins the tagline for Sean Pecknold’s new short film. 



Just a bit of spring levity!


Today's quote: What has occurred over the course of the last few centuries is a growing (but by no means universal or certain) recognition that science gets the job done, while religion makes excuses. Sometimes they are very pretty excuses that capture the imagination of the public, but ultimately, when you want to win a war or heal a dying child or get rich from a discovery or explore Antarctica, you turn to science and reason, or you fail. 

-PZ Myers, biology professor (b. 9 Mar 1957)
