“@WilliamShatner is going to space? My man! I guess this means I have to become a marine biologist,” Alexander tweeted. Alexander (who does a killer Shatner impression) is, of course, referring to “The Marine Biologist, one of the most beloved Seinfeld episodes where George (who is played by Alexander, in case you somehow didn’t know that) has to pretend to be a marine biologist in order to impress his old college crush, Diane....

“Bye Drogo! Bye Arthur Curry!” he yells standing in the middle of the desert somewhere as the electric beard trimmer first hits his face. Clad in a black bomber jacket and black-and-white striped pants that make him look like he escaped prison in the ’30s, Momoa shaves his beard and says some stuff. “I just want to do this to bring awareness that plastics are killing our planet.

Louis-Dreyfus hosted the final night of the proceedings and, although she didn’t take any turns as fictional former occupant of the White House, Selina Meyer, she had no problem bringing levity to an event that was often dark, somber, and serious. Besides, it probably would have been in poor taste if she spent the evening acting as Selina Meyer, who is perhaps most famously known for nearly always being the Veep, and only becoming the President at the very end of the twisted, sadistic show of the same name....

Keanu reportedly earned a $10 million upfront salary to star in the film and ended up making more than $35 million when it became a runaway hit, earning nearly half a billion dollars at the global box office. Rather than keep that money for himself, Keanu gave most of it away to help researchers try to treat and, hopefully, one day, cure leukemia, which is responsible for over 20,000 deaths in the U....

For the study, published in Health Affairs, researchers from the Bloomberg School leveraged the supercomputing powers of Carnegie Mellon University and their Virtual Population for Obesity Prevention software. After running a simulation with the current percentage of 8- to 11-year-olds receiving 25 minutes of physical activity three times weekly — a depressingly paltry 32 percent — they found that at 8.1 million children would be obese or overweight by 2020....

Several years ago, participants in a study on boredom found themselves seated alone in a bare room containing no clocks, no posters, no distractions at all. Cell phones were prohibited. So were books, writing implements, and most everything else — thoughts alone would have to entertain. “There are only two rules,” recalls Erin Westgate, a social psychologist at the University of Florida and a co-author on the study. “Don’t get up out of your chair, and don’t fall asleep....

Back in 2016, 15 families from Flint sued several Michigan education agencies, including the state’s Department of Education, claiming that schools were failing kids with developmental delays by not properly assessing how lead poisoning may have affected the children’s behavior.

Launched yesterday, MindRacers essentially lets real Hot Wheels cars race on screen. The race starts as it would with any traditional Hot Wheels track, by releasing two die-cast cars down the launch pad ramp. The big difference here, however, is that at the bottom of the short track both cars disappear into a tunnel under a docked iPad. When they pass under the tablet’s camera (which is covered with a clip-on mirror), the augmented reality kicks in and the cars seemingly jump onto the screen....
