What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Fur the Hex of It? I really enjoy a good FBI or CIA tv show, and my mind being what it is, I thought, wouldn’t it be neat to write something like this, only make it supernatural? Hence the SIA (Supernatural Investigation Agency) and our intrepid witch, Holly. I love the idea of a paranormal law enforcement agency running alongside us mere mortals. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Fur the Hex of It, what would they be? The theme song for Holly…

Yankovic himself was inspired to do the bonkers project — based on a dramatic fake 2010 movie trailer about his life from Eric Appel (Weird’s director) — by celebrity biopics such as Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody. “They would play around with the facts for dramatic purpose, and that really bothered me,” Yankovic says. “I thought, ‘Maybe I should do a biopic but just have it go completely off the rails.’” Yankovic, also…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Black Shards: Symphony of Dusk Volume 2? I wanted to tell the stories of people who looked like me. Of heroes that looked like me.

A new study has discovered the reason mosquitoes are drawn to some people more than others. Some viruses can cause an infected person to smell “tastier” to a mosquito, according to researchers. Zika and dengue fever are viruses that infect humans and are spread through mosquito bites. The researchers discovered that these viruses manipulate the hosts’ skin microbiome which creates a molecule that attracts the insects. As more mosquitoes are likely to bite the infected person, the chances of transmission of the virus also increase.Zika and dengue fever viruses both belong to the same family of viruses and are spread by mosquito bites.

Decades before the Justice League first came together, there was the Justice Society of America, which formed in the 1940s to combat threats too big for any single hero to handle. Its Golden Age roster included such heroes as the Flash (not that one), Green Lantern (not that one), the Sandman (not that one), the Atom (not that one), and Hawkman (sort of that one; that character’s history is kind of confusing). When the Justice League debuted in the 1960s it quickly became DC Comics’ most popular super group, and eventually eclipsed the Justice Society in prominence. Although the JSA…
About 15 million years ago in a warm coastal sea covering what is now southern Maryland, the ocean surface suddenly erupted in a violent upheaval as a shark the size of a five-story building — the mighty and massive megalodon (Otodus megalodon) — launched itself at a whale near the surface, clamping its 250 serrated teeth around the whale’s midsection. As the struggling pair broke the surface in a bloody breach, the force of the attack bent the whale’s back and caused a violent compression fracture.That’s the scenario proposed by scientists who recently examined two of the whale’s fractured vertebrae…

Different new routes for constructing SMSIs were concluded, where the activity, selectivity, and stability of the supported metal catalysts are modified, providing an effective way for bridging the material synthesis and heterogeneous catalysis.
