A review of The River Knows Its Own [ Wheatland Press | Amazon ]
Frozen remains of WWII airman identified
An Unlikely Map of 'A Better Sky' - A misguided effort to rename the constellations. Amusingly weird.
Regret the Error - A blog of (sometimes) amusing or curious newspaper retractions.
Self-Experimenters Step Up for Science - Do-it-yourself science with a sample size of one.
Happiness Is In The Genes, Say Scottish Scientists - Hmmm.
Chicago Tunnel Company Railroad - Weird, cool lost tech. More here, from 1929. (Thanks to willyumtx.)
A World Without Trucks - Pipelines for physical goods. Related to the old pneumatic postal systems. (Thanks to willyumtx.)
The Big Book Of Lesbian Horse Stories - (Thanks to danjite.)
Special rights for religious idiots - Yeah, baby. This is why we need religious values in politics! To make our children stupider!
"Militant Unitarians" - An interesting comment about the ongoing Christianist fantasies concerning the alleged religious beliefs of the nation's Founders.
HUD E-Mails Refer to Retaliation - If you still labor under the delusion that the GOP stands for ethical government, probably you don't want to read this link.
