Did you know …
That we temporarily ran out of science? It’s true!
You may have noticed that the Daily Science Fact hasn’t been very daily over the last week. This has happened before, but only because the DSF staff was out of town for holidays, or had diarrhea, or both.
This time, however, it was because we had temporarily run out of facts. It turns out that there were only 236 science related facts available in the world.
Not to worry! We’ve sent out our research teams, and as I type this, they are sifting through dusty pages in buried libraries, mining rich seams of little understood and highly radioactive substances, and attaching electrodes to the decaying brains of dead scientists and historians. With any luck, the facts soon be flooding into the DSF offices once again!
Sure, I fully expect to lose more than a few researchers to incarceration and radiation poisoning, but their deaths and lives in prison will be in the service of science and mankind, and while these researchers will inevitably and quickly be forgotten, it will be with reluctance and vague discomfort.
We thank you for your sacrifice. 236 facts were not enough.
I’ll be filling in the empty days as facts become available. Go back in time and read them if you want.
