Many cool things that require little comment today.
Eric Lusito – After the Wall: Traces of the Soviet Empire. Link via io9. Haunting pictures of the modern, skeletal remains of Soviet Russia.
Dwarf Goat More Reptile Than Mammal. They apparently were doing just fine in their little evolutionary niche… until they ran in to us. That’s what they get for tasting so good.
Crocodile Gets F***ed Up by Angry Hippos. Not the real title of the article, but accurate. And scary. Really scary. I will never forgive Disney for their lies in the original Fantasia.
Many scientific experts say using Mayan end-is-near calendar is off base. Just another good anti-2012 nonsense article. And I linked to it because I’m an unabashed Phil Plait fangirl.
The Going Rogue Index. The unauthorized index of Sarah Palin’s book by Slate. It made me giggle. And the single sentence from the book they included certainly made me feel better about myself as a writer. I still wish that woman would just go away, though.
