Weekly Wrap-Up: Learning is fun Edition

Well, what did we learn this week, kids? What didn't we learn:

— Thomas Edison had a birthday. Luckily, no pachyderms were harmed in celebration.

— So did Darwin. Some pachyderms died this time. "Natural selection" my ass.

— We learned the creators of Jumper aren't so science savvy — twice. Doug Liman should really stick to the understated drama of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

— Pollen detectives shut down a Chinese bogus drug ring. Look out CSI!

— The Monitor brought yet another scintillating blast of science infotainment. I can't get enough, and neither can you, if you know what's good for you.

— Freaking awesome gallery of science tattoos. I just can't decide which one to get!

— Wiretapping gets worse, probably. What did you expect — a personal right to privacy? Pfffft.

— New kickass dinosaur discoveries delight 7-year-olds everywhere. And me!

— Happy Valentines — this is how orgasms work. "I just can't explain it...it's perhaps best I show you..."

— Space has a smell. Like everything, I blame the Russians.

— Tornado Alley is moving Southeast. Somewhere in Oklahoma, a trailer park won't get its tornado this year.

— U.S. decides to shoot down errant spy satellite. USA! USA! US — wait, will that even work?!
