  • 51 of the best celebrity kids Halloween costumes —… No one does Halloween quite like the Hollywood elite. With plenty of money to spend on outfits, hair, and makeup, celebrity Halloween costumes are often over-the-top creations that make jaws drop. (Though there are some terrible celebrity Halloween costumes that make jaws drop for a different reason.) So it should come as no surprise that celebrity's kids' costumes are just as amazing. Need some inspiration for your little one's costumes? Check out some of the best celebrity kids' Halloween costumes of all time. Reese Witherspoon matched her daughter Ava in a witch costume, and her son Deacon dressed up as…
  • John Oliver takes the law into his own hands to… "On TV and in real life, forensic science plays an important role in criminal convictions," John Oliver said on Sunday's Last Week Tonight, but not all forensic science is as reliable as we've been led to believe by TV shows. Jurors don't always know that, but they expect forensic proof — what prosecutors call the "CSI effect." Since Oliver had a lot of potential jurors watching, he took a few minutes to educate, entertainingly. "It's not that all forensic science is bad, because it's not," Oliver said. But there are serious documented problems with bite-mark and hair analysis, and some…

  • 14 celebrities who sparked outrage with their… Celebrity costumes can be inventive and works of creative inspiration. Or they could be empty-headed disasters. The worst celebrity costumes tend to be the ones that spark outrage for their cultural insensitivity. Bizarrely, this isn't limited to Halloween. Macklemore once dressed up as a Nazi caricature of Jews in May, declined to apologize for it, and then deleted his statement that wasn't an apology. But because a lot of people dress up in costumes for Halloween, this type of thing tends to happen around the end of October. Too often, we'll see celebrities dress up in blackface, as caricatures of…
  • The Absurdity of the Nobel Prizes in Science This morning, physicists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish received the Nobel Prize for Physics, for their discovery of gravitational waves—distortions in the fabric of space and time. The trio, who led the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) project that recorded these waves, will split the 9 million Swedish Kroner prize between them. Perhaps more importantly, they will carry the status of “Nobel laureate” for the rest of their lives.But what of the other scientists who contributed to the LIGO project, and whose names grace the three-page-long author list in the paper that describes the discoveries? “LIGO's success was…
