Seriously – we've got Steak-umm talking epistemology on Twitter over a stupid Neil deGrasse Tyson tweet and we're witnessing greatness in real time. pic.twitter.com/PCl0aEX6Wv

And I just realized that Steak-umm casually dropped "misteaks" into the reply while hypnotizing me with epistemology talk.
A man has said his life was saved by a shark attack when it revealed he had a cancerous tumour.
[…]
Mr Finney said: “That night I started having pretty serious chest and back pains.”
And it continued to get worse on his return home to Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
A visit to hospital confirmed the pain was caused by internal bruising caused by the attack.
However, the medical staff who examined him also found he had a cancer.
“They had discovered a growth, or a tumour, on my right kidney about the size of a walnut,” Mr Finney said.
After undergoing surgery to remove it, he said: “If this didn’t happen with the shark, causing me to go in with this chest pain, I would have never known about this cancer.”
The surgeon who operated on him, Dr Ingolf Tuerk, of St Elizabeth’s Medical Center, Brighton, said: “It led to a situation that saved his life.
“That’s pretty fascinating when you think about it.”
A giant penguin that would have towered above today’s largest species has been discovered in a New Zealand university’s storage shed, it’s been reported.
The fossilised bones of the as-yet unnamed bird had remained in storage at Auckland University since 1971, until the advent of 3D printing helped experts confirm that it was “almost certainly” a new type of giant penguin, Radio New Zealand International reports. The new technology meant that Dr Daniel Thomas was able to scan the bones to an American palaeontologist, and they were able to determine the bird would have stood at least 30cm taller than an emperor penguin, and taller than the extinct Kairuku penguin, whose remains were identified in 2012. “I imagine an emperor would have run away scared,” Dr Thomas said, pointing out that he was…
A 91-year-old Polish woman who spent 11 hours in cold storage in a morgue after being declared dead has returned to her family, complaining of feeling cold.
Officials say Janina Kolkiewicz was declared dead after an examination by the family doctor.
However, morgue staff were astonished to notice movement in her body bag while it was in storage. The police have launched an investigation.
Back home, Ms Kolkiewicz warmed up with a bowl of soup and two pancakes.
Great!
The elderly woman appeared to have been admitted to the morgue prematurely
A gun-toting pastor in Texas caught a grandmother stealing packages from the porches of Baytown residents last week.
Pastor Benny Holmes was captured on video charging through his front door wielding a pistol and pointing it at the suspect, Laurie Ferguson, 52, according to the Baytown Police Department.
“He was at his wits end,” said Holmes’ wife, Pat, to ABC 13 News. “He was determined in his mind that he would sit here, however long it took, to see if he could find her.”
Ferguson initially denied that she was stealing when first confronted by Holmes.
“She said, ‘I’m looking for my dog,'” Pat recalled, adding that her husband then told Ferguson, “You found your dog. Bow wow.”
Minzae Lee and Gil-Pyo Kim and others at Seoul National University, who have a new paper in Nanotechnology, believe they’ve discovered a way to reduce stray butts while helping green manufacturing. They gathered dirty filters from Marlboro Light Gold, The One Orange, and lime and rum-flavored Bohem Cigar Mojito cigarettes (Korea’s sure got variety), and exposed them to high heat in a nitrogen-rich environment. That transformed the thousands of cellulose-acetate fibers in the filters, seen at right, into the black “hybrid carbon material” at left:
This material is densely riddled with pores of various sizes, which turns out to be great for making efficient supercapacitors. When they ran a test of the stuff’s capabilities, they found it “stored a higher amount of electrical energy than commercially available carbon and also had a higher amount of storage compared to graphene and carbon nanotubes,” according to
