1. Global warming policy poll.

1.1 Also: of freakish European winters and strawberry Christmases.

2. Oh dear, Zool has gone wiki. OUSFG should have totally trademarked some of our wretched ideas. ;-)

3. Neat! low-tech solutions for Guinea worm

4. Of US e-waste exports, with Malaysia as leading importer (I suspect that they mostly broker it to 3rd & 4th parties). BAN and SVTC getting the word out.

5. Zimbabwe's inflation.

6. EU politics are weird - I mean, in an argument for a stronger voting position, Poland's 66 million projection is completely bizarre. What sort of Poland would that be, also assuming no Soviet-influenced population policies on a hypothetically vibrant Polish Jewish community, and how would such a community vote and influence the overall Polish position today? Gah, I guess it wouldn't be the first time counterfactual history was presented in arguments for present political gain.

7. The Bus Plunge Story of our digital era? Man Vs. Nature in Mortal Kombat Stories.

8. The Ostel...cute, and maybe for a full-on hotel experience, the guests can take turns working the kitchen, clean their own rooms, and fill out reports on the fellow hotel guests. ;-p
