And because it's clearly Blogger Day today rather than LiveJournal day, a search hit recap. I should check this more often, I've been getting weird ones lately.

"escape velocity nova" crack - funny only because of the intent when I originally used the terms for EVN and crack in the same post. (All the EV crack references.)

volkisch theory - Hi there! I'm a bit too eclectic and too relentlessly undergraduate to be a good reference source, unfortunately, but I hope you enjoyed my ramblings.

"Prince William" psychological behaviour - Er. No, I'm not the Royal Therapist, I'm afraid.

The names of the artists who draw the Madam and Eve Cartoon er. S. Francis, H. Dugmore, and Rico, minus the one who left, and I forget which one that was. Try their website.

history of grapetiser - Well, first, it was grapes. Then it was put in cans and carbonated...

uwa guild+transdimensional - the "uwa guild archives" I could understand more readily than this one.

anthropology "madam and eve" tv - hein? There's a story behind this one.

metaphors+of+love - with the pluses and all, it looks like a surreal yet somehow romantic heavy metal band name.

Another article.

Sibling Rivalry: why the nature/nurter debate won't go away, by Steven Pinker.

I have issues with this. Not just because he tries to lend credibility to his arguments about how silly theories which have, in fact, yes, since been proved wrong are by using ethnic jokes. He's got a smug self-righteousness about him, and a tendency to attribute all that is Good to alignment with his particular hobbyhorse and non-alignment with credulous idiocy.

web-log

I've been browsing. Some pages worth a read:

A review of 'Vegetarianism: A History', by Colin Spencer. By Ellen Ruppel Shell. Haven't read the book, but having read the review I don't feel the need to; I do love a good scathe.

Columbus was a quack. No, I'm not joining the Flat Earth society and neither is the author; deflating, rather, some of the myths and falsehoods surrounding this figure.

ACLU recap of the dissolution of American civil liberties.

a review on a study of ethnic humour, far from the best book review I've ever read but, conversely, this mediocre review has me intrigued to read the book it's reviewing, whereas the excellent one above has me convinced I won't. Interesting point there.

I like the advisory on the top of this article on Salon; "To print this page, select "Print" from the File menu of your browser". Thanks for that, Salon.
