Yes it does. But please, for the love of science, keep this subreddit the article-only goodness that it is.

That last pic is my worst nightmare...

I am not sure i like this. Not only the facts they provide are not explanations, but i wouldn't choose 'explaining' as a single-word-description of what science (i assume they are talking about the hard sciences? Or all fields of knowledge where the scientific method is applied?) is for.

I'm honestly curious if some of those were actually real.

i.e. were those real mosquitoes or was that actually 2 oz of gold (or more importantly, if those were real diamonds, where can I find this billboard?). I don't know, I'd be a lot ballsier if they were.

[–]GrinningPariah[!] 2 points3 points ago

Yeah and is that one with the skin actually a human's skin? We need answers!

The Science World logo suggests they are local here in Vancouver, BC.

I would like to see some stats about the number of people who fear clowns.

My favorite is the "Whales heart" one, I think it is the most shocking.

Science World has been getting a lot of love on Reddit lately. New ad campaign?

[–]cosworth99 -5 points-4 points ago

Also, Canada rules.

There was an article in the newspaper about the gold-plated sign. Apparently they used real gold and had a security guard posted under the billboard.

Wow, those are so clever. Also, not sponsored by De Beers...
