Science Tattoos

I really like tattoos so I am always drawn in to pictures of them. They be cringe worthy and make me wonder why on earth someone would get that permanently inked on their body or beautiful, artistic examples of self expression. Science Tattoo Emporium Blog has pictures of tattoos that are all connected in someway to science. I don't know what some of them are (ok alot of them), but they are pretty cool.

1 in 4 mortgages 'underwater'

Research released in September says that 10.7 million homes are "underwater" meaning that what is owed is more than the house is worth. Another 2.3 million homes are within 5% of being underwater. That is 28% of all residential housing according to the article in CNN Money. WTF? I don't know who is more to blame the bank industry for making these loans or the people who signed on the dotted line. If they didn't understand what they were getting into they shouldn't have signed the papers! If the government is going to take care of all their problems then I think they should do the same for student loans!

Vanish

"Writer Evan Tried to Vanish: Here's What Happened"

This writer for Wired apparently wrote an article on a man who vanished and then decided to try and do it himself. He had two months to plan this out before disappearing and probably would have succeeded if he wasn't following some of the groups on Facebook trying to track him down! Apparently he couldn't handle being on his own for that long and started slipping. Hopefully he never witnesses a crime and they put him in witness protection because he will not last!
