While we all enjoy the hidden jokes in kid’s movies, we don’t pick up all of the science that goes into making them. In this scene from Finding Nemo, Mr. Ray, the teacher, swims up to his class singing about the different layers or zones of the ocean. Whenever I have to think talk about […]

I like all of the irony in this ad. It’s a forest grown to  look like a set of lungs. One “lobe” of the right lung is missing, making it harder to breathe. We can’t breathe without plants being able to produce oxygen for us. I think that this ad is saying that if we […]

So after I spend my mornings at the aquarium I generally spend my afternoons strolling along the beach picking up any marine debris I see. I’ve found some really interesting things and some gross and disturbing things as well. I follow some organizations on Instagram that are devoted to cleaning up the oceans, rivers, lakes, […]

I’d be lion to ya if I told you I’ve never wanted straight hair. This ad features a lion with a styled mane instead of his luxurious locks. Looking at this lion makes me feel uncomfortable as his hair style reminds me of a bad 1970s haircut. It is an interesting way to sell hair […]

What’s scarier than seeing a shark fin glide through open water? No sharks at all!! I like how this WWF advertisement has captured this image on a cloudy day to make it look more ominous in the second picture. We can’t see any sings of marine life and that makes it scarier than seeing the […]

Bard on the Butte takes place on top of Skinner’s Butte and just finished up a eight show run. This was the first year of doing a Shakespeare production on Skinner’s and they hope to do it again next year.  I went to their show and was amazed at the way the actors were able […]

Definitely one of those books that my mom didn’t like when I was younger. She probably still doesn’t care for it today. I came across this article that claims that The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Stupid Fairy Tales introduces its readers to “post-modern landscapes.” I thought that this was an interesting concept. The article also […]

This comic runs daily in the Register Guard and is usually full of eye rolling puns. This one ran on August 30th and I thought it was fairly thought provoking. Would we categorize cows as higher/smarter animals if they could write poetry? Or just call them snooty? Patsis, Stephen. “Pearls Before Swine.” The Register Guard […]
