15 Movie Marathons to Watch on TV this Christmas

Over the past few years it has become a tradition for some stations to offer marathons during holidays.  The Syfy channel has been running The Twilight Zone marathons on New Years for, uh, years.

With the transition to binge viewing, I think that the marathon idea is only going to get more popular.  Buzzfeed has a list of 15 Movie Marathons to Watch on TV this Christmas.

The Only Mercury Meteorite on Earth

What you’re looking at  [if you’re looking at the photo above] is what scientists believe to be is the only meteorite from Mercury on our planet.

How can they tell? The rock’s magnetism matches that of Mercury perfectly. It also has high amounts of magnesium and chromium but a low amount of iron, which is apparently what scientists would expect from a chip off of Mercury.

Don’t you love stuff like this?

Walt Parrish’s “3 by 3” Original Art Collection

Walt Parrish has a cool sketch collection theme.  Walt collects original art created on three inch by three inch bristol board.

The art ranges from full color paintings to quickie pencil pieces by artists such as Ken Meyer, Jr. [the Breaking Bad piece above], Tim Sale [the sketch below], Michael Golden, Matt Wagner, Neal Adams, Wilfredo Torres, Gabriel Hardman, Franchesco Francavilla, Bruce Timm, Howard Chaykin, Patric Reynolds and others.

Walt has the art on display at his three by three site and it is more than worth a look.
