PASSWORD: STARSHIPS
One of the best fanvids I’ve ever seen.
And when she says ‘one of the best […] EVER’ (emphasis mine), lemme tell ya: it’s really, really true.
So many things I love all in one place! And beautifully done, to boot.
The World’s Quietest Room
Scientists at Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs created their own soundless room, an anechoic chamber. Their studies have found that when putting subjects within the chamber, they begin to hallucinate within 30 minutes.
With an average quiet room having a sound level of 30 decibels, the anechoic chamber’s sound level is -9 decibels. The ceiling, floor, and walls of the chamber absorb sound rather than have it bounce off as normal objects do. The chamber is so quiet that the subjects can even hear their own organs functioning.
Although extremely interesting, the experience is rather unpleasant. Not one subject has spent more than 45 minutes in the chamber alone. Leaving a person to only their thoughts, the chamber could drive them insane.
I want to be here. I want to see the deeper parts of my thoughts, and maybe figure some things out.
the room makes you literally go insane after an extended period of time

“can even hear their own organs functioning”

“If I weren’t acting I’d hopefully be doing something involving time travel. Maybe I’d be a time cop. Well, I guess that’s law-enforcement. So I guess I’d be doing time-travel-law-enforcement. Or perhaps more likely I’d be doing something dreadfully academic. My parents met while both in graduate school working on their PhDs and then my mom went on to get a law degree and my father went on to get a graduate English degree, so I kind of have school in my blood. I think I might be working in the field of ethnic studies trying to shed light on how we think of race and ethnicity in this country. Although I think time-travel-law-enforcement would be more fun.”— Daniel Vincent Gordh when asked what he would do for a job if he wasn’t acting x (via misswendelintheweird)
Aaand now my brain is trying to figure out how one might cosplay a time-travel-law-enforcement-Darcy mashup…
There would definitely have to be a bow tie. Bow ties are cool. ;)
Classic Who Watch | The Monster of Peladon
Preach it Sarah Jane!
This sort of thing is a big part of why I loved Doctor Who, and Sarah Jane Smith, and Elisabeth Sladen when I was a little girl. And why I still do today.
Arrow is a pretty good superhero show, but I have to admit that a big part of why I watch is for the guest stars. I mean, John Barrowman and Alex Kingston?
Captain Jack and River Song together at last?!
SQUEE!!!!!
(Now if they can just make it happen on Who itself…)

THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
