Antarctica TechnoBLOTT The land, the people, the culture

Antarctica Rocks!

Randomly got to talkin’ with UC#2 about meteorites in Antarctica. This was the result of a semi-sequitur from a recent BLOTT about paper clips, and the earliest known archaeological connection between people and iron was from found meteorites. Not knowing much about Antarctic meteorites, it seemed like an interesting BLOTT. As it turns out, as […]

#Girther Movement

Where do I begin? This is almost too easy. That being said, 215lb stretches credulity, and WLBOTT considered selected it’s own slate of weighters and submitting our own results to the Library of Congress. However, the 215 number makes Sally the Intern the winner, and she was counting on the prize money to purchase ramen […]
