GeekBytes: Second Moons and Lunchbox Comics

Earth May Have Two Moons
Yes, that's right: According to research paper The population of natural Earth satellites, at various intervals the Earth gets a second moon. Well, kind of. Sadly, these second "moons" are a lot smaller than the moon we know and love--the only one recorded was just a "few meters" long. Still it's very, very interesting that the Earth is capable of temporarily pulling in irregular satellites and causing them to orbit. [via Gizmodo]

This has to be the cutest blog ever. Wandermonster is a blog dedicated to the comics created by Rob Kimmel and his eight-year-old son, Ben. But these are no ordinary comics. Rob begins the drawing on a sheet of paper each day, and puts it in his son's lunchbox to complete. Since Ben was a Kindergartener, the pair undertaken the sketches, and the results are a pleasure to scroll through, from sock worm witches to evil high-five ghost arms. [via io9]
