…Cause I’m only playing catch-up.
See, because it’s a homonym with… Bah, never mind. On with the Friday Link Dump!
Hollywood is definitely out to retroactively destroy my childhood. How else can one explain their insistence on changing G.I.

The Ninja fields questions emailed in by visitors and compiles an extremely humorous video podcast on a semi-regular basis, almost like Strong Bad email, only with ninjas. If you’re looking to get caught up, the Ninja’s relationship with physics and Ninja internships (“ninternships”) are two great places to start.
