Link Stew
Sooner or later I may post real content of photos.
Byrd: Obama In Power Grab. Granted Byrd often uses his scholarship of the Constitution for his own ends--like whipping a copy out of his pocket to get out of speeding tickets while Congress is in session. But he does know it better than most D.C. politicos. On the other hand, the abuses still haven't kept pace with what Bush did yet.
Byzantium And Prince Charles. Just 'cause I'm a Byzantium buff. I still want to fly a double-headed eagle or Chi-Rho flag from my house.
Do These Mysterious Stones Mark The Site Of The Garden Of Eden? Not likely. But I've been following the story about the prehistoric Gobekli Tepi site with complete fascination for other reasons since it hit the news again a few weeks ago.
Finding 'Weird Life' On Earth. Centauri Dreams is always good fodder for the imagination, sense of wonder, and story idea generation. Likewise, Aliens 'May Be Living Among Us' Undetected By Science.
HEMA. The Dutch have more fun with their commercial webpages than we do. Watch this all the way through with sound!
Historical Tweets. General history fun.
Japanese Emperor To Visit Pearl Harbor For The First Time Since The War. Anyone know how much the Japanese schools are playing down the attack these days?
Parking Meters Out To Destroy The Human Race. "Well yeah, I noticed them too, but I figured, eh, it's D.C."
Miep Gies, My Story. The women who saved Anne Frank's diary just turned 100.
Strange Fish Has See-Through Head. Must be a good conversation starter.
Survey Shows 'Astonishing Richness' In Ocean Species. Enjoy it while it lasts.
U.S. Energy Department Cannot Account for Nuclear Materials at 15 Locations. This reminds me that the TV show Jericho started in the year 2009.
What Made The Greeks Laugh? More ancient history fun.
Why Are Submarines Always Bumping Into Things? I was just wondering that myself.
