There's a new Symphony of Science video! Now, admittedly, we prefer songs about the end of the world. But the beginning of the universe is pretty mind-blowing, too. Watch, enjoy, get your nerd on.

Hi, friends!

This week, let's take a walk through the Den of Geek's wonderful world of sci-fi corridors!

I think my favorite is the skeletal corridor:

"...as we enter the bone-ridden and gruesome imagination of H.R. Giger, and the skeletal corridor leading to the space-jockey inside the alien derelict. Dank, dark and positively dripping, there's something quite Victorian about this section of set; with the cantilevered arches finishing off in boney protrusions, it's like being inside some dank and rotten musical instrument..."


Astronaut Woman: "Honey, do you think we could get this wallpaper in charteuse?"

My most favored sci-fi corridor was from Logan's run. Until I realized that if I was really there, I would have already been convinced to throw myself into a giant human-laser-popcorn machine like 5 months ago. That's uplifting.

On the bright side, there's always a chance to have a tinfoil dance party with BOX!


In other spacey news, I found the most amazing fake Jonathan Frakes Twitter account in the entire universe. How do I know it's a faux Frakes? Well, according to The Blog for Fandom Conventions, it was "called out by Wil Wheaton as a total fake."

Busted.

Lucky for us, fake Jonathan Frakes' profile is still active and available! What does fake Jonathan Frakes have to say on his fake Twitter account? Well, he ponders meaningless questions, like:

"Diet Coke with lemon - didn’t that used to be called Pledge?"

and...

"If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry?"

and...

"Couldn't you guys ask about some better foods? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0pxUR6ZvM8"

Want to know where the real Jonathan Frakes is? Then don't go milling around Rikers Island bakery, a NYC prison bakery. That's where fake Jonathan Frakes hangs out -- or is at least linking to -- not the real one. Unfortunately, Rikers' bread (not to be confused with Rikers' beard) is only available to other prisons in the city, not the public. No worries! They've got you covered with their Rikers Island Carrot Cake Recipe (makes 25 loaves).

Fake Jonathan Frakes' humble Twitter beginnings commenced in December of 2009 - a little over a year ago. Unfortunately, the last Tweet from fake Jon Frakes was on Monday, November 9th, 2010 at 2:53:17am:

"I once knew a man who gave up beef, sweets and soft drinks. He was the picture of health right up to the day he killed himself!"

We are saddened by our beloved fake Commander's departure from this social networking platform. We wish him the best on his voyage through life, and may his sticks of butter prosper.

We leave this inspirational video in memoriam:




That's all, kids. Now go read up on dark energy, or something.
