Measuring cup with unusual units of measure via Boing Boing
Some of these are useful, like the mark for 1,000 sweet corn kernels. Others are…novel. It may one day come in handy to visualize the volume of body cells that die on a good day. And, that it is about 5 times the size of a T-rex’s brain.

Battlestar Galactica Streams Into Season 4 via Life in Ohio Podcast
Someone in the Sci-Fi Channel is either really desperate to attract eyeballs, or really confident in their infrastructure. Maybe both. According to Wired, the season premiere for Battlestar Galactica will stream first at noon, April 4th on SciFi.com, 10 hours before it airs on TV.

Technorama is the show that takes a light hearted look at tech, science, sci-fi and all the feedback from geeks with your hosts Chuck Tomasi and Kreg Steppe.

Intercom Music: Play phone music over the intercom, like “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” (It’s 321 2333 222 333 321 2333 321 321, if you’re interested.)
The Claim: Identical Twins Have Identical DNA via Digg
I just found some food for thought while waiting for 7th Son: Obsidian
The specific changes that Dr. Dumanski and his colleagues identified are known as copy number variations, in which a gene exists in multiple copies, or a set of coding letters in DNA is missing. Not known, however, is whether these changes in identical twins occur at the embryonic level, as the twins age or both.
