lightcastleSome of these from mzrowan's always-interesting news roundup. Forgive the duplication for those of you for whom it is an issue.
Diversions of the Groovy Kind has a week of 1970s Sword and Sorcery covers.
From the Guardian - Fossil hunters dig up galloping, dinosaur-eating crocodiles in the Sahara.
The New York Times discusses how the youth of today are abandoning the concepts of "men's" and "women's" only clothing.
At the same time, BVD underwear reminds you that you must always police your masculinity with your wardrobe choices.
Trigger Warning: A Danish advocacy group puts up an online flash game where you hit a woman talking back to you with the stated goal of raising awareness of domestic violence. The international response has caused the original site to now be limited to visitors from Denmark only.
Some people think the Senate health care bill is better than the House one. (I'm surprised, actually.)
The effect of religion on the economy. Does the fear of hell improve GDP?
With the recent report that 49 million people in the US suffered from "food insecurity" last year (read - couldn't put food on the table all the time), a little reminder from the Minnesota Hunger Experiment about how badly consistent under-nourishment affects you.
A Climate Scientist takes down the annoying SuperFreakonomics people.
