AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a request for recommendations for quirky physics blogs, as the original poster finds traditional scientific results dull. A suggestion for an astronomy blog, "Bad Astronomy," is made, which is well-received. The conversation takes a humorous turn regarding the word "spunk," with participants noting its different connotations in the UK and the US. The term is clarified to mean 'with attitude' in the context of the original post. Additionally, a blog by ZapperZ from PhysicsForum is recommended, although it is noted that it may not fit the "quirky" label. Overall, the thread emphasizes the desire for engaging and lively content in the realm of physics and astronomy.

Hey guys,

I'm interested in reading some quirky physics blogs. I get rather bored of reading scientific results without any spunk. I like spunk. Any suggestions? :smile:

You might want to check the other possible meanings of that word before you make a statement like that.

I had quite a laugh reading this post. :smile:

You must be from the UK. In the US the term is harmless. :-p
 
I am, saying "I like spunk" in the Uk is going to get you some funny looks.
 
Haha geez, I just realized how that could be interpreted. By spunk I mean 'with attitude', okay guys? lol

Thanks for the recommendation Jack21222
