			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the name of science, all is fair game.  Especially when the <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html">Mythbusters</a> are involved.  I found out that a particular phrase I&#8217;ve been using lately to describe certain aspects of my work was investigated in depth by the Mythbusters on a recent episode.  I was amazed.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t lie to you though&#8230; some people might possibly not appreciate this topic in similar ways&#8230; some people might find this downright disgusting.  Frankly, it kind of is.  I won&#8217;t subject you to such if you don&#8217;t want.  But if you&#8217;re quite compelled, now is the time to click through to the details&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-75"></span></p>
<p>OK!  Don&#8217;t say I didn&#8217;t warn you.  It&#8217;s not really all that bad to be honest.  I mean, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Everyone-Poops-My-Body-Science/dp/0916291456">Everyone Poops</a>!  Get over it.</p>
<p>As I implied &#8211; certain aspects of my job have become like <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=you%20can%27t%20polish%20a%20turd">Polishing a Turd</a>, which supposedly can&#8217;t be done.  Though I would have readily agreed with this, Jamie and Adam of Mythbusters decided to investigate further.  Lets watch&#8230;</p>

<p>FASCINATING!</p>
<p>I especially like how Jamie emphasises &#8220;POOP Polishing.&#8221;</p>

<p>While channel surfing the other day on the amazing quality of <a href="http://www.verizon.com/fiostv">Verizon Fios TV</a>, I came upon one of the new High Definition channels <a href="http://planetgreen.discovery.com/">Planet Green</a>, a station devoted to shows about ecological improvement.</p>
<p>Low and behold &#8211; BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY HAS RETURNED TO TELEVISION on a show called <a href="http://planetgreen.discovery.com/tv/stuff-happens/">Stuff Happens</a> (a title quite obviously a play on one of my favorite exclamatory <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shit_happens">phrases</a> of all time).</p>
<p>Growing up, <a href="http://www.tv.com/bill-nye-the-science-guy/show/9135/summary.html?q=bill%20nye&amp;tag=search_results;title;1">Bill Nye: The Science Guy</a> was one of my favorite shows to watch.  Just hearing the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjpVQbNpGKo">theme music</a> gets my attention even today!  Probably one of the contributing factors to my lifetime of nerdiness.</p>
<p>I watched an episode of Stuff Happens today about energy consumption in the sports world.  I was enthralled by *Bill&#8217;s explanations and on the fly calculations of why Baseball has the biggest carbon footprint among sports &#8211; a quite sensible explanation too.  They talked about some of the features of <a href="http://nationals.mlb.com/was/ballpark/index.jsp">Nationals Park</a> in Washington DC that make it the first green sports arena in the world.</p>
<p>Fascinating!</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.thereisnoeinforman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>* That&#8217;s right &#8211; first name basis!</p>
