On the way to work. Kirksway Place, as seen from Sandy Bay Road. December 2011.The Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and photos of awkward families looking awkward). The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning...
The world is an amazing place. Need Proof? Awkward Family Pet Photos.
Here is something that I bet you didn't know: Infants prefer a nasty moose if it punishes an unhelpful elephant.
Follow the toads! New research may well help establish how animals predict earthquakes...
A good example of public policy gone bad over in Hungary.
A late nomination for headline of the year (and further proof that ornithologists love to 'do it' in the bushes): Great Tits give insight into personality.
On more serious matters, Tyler Cowen offers a really good exploration of the European debt crisis. Well worth five minutes of your time.
Someone is about to drop a nuclear bomb on you. Would You Pass the Panic-Proof Test?
There is nothing wrong with knowing that you don't know. Actually, it's exactly the right thing to know.
My favourite Twitter at the moment: Soviets Invade Finland, in Real Time.
Automaton racism? The 1930s hysteria about machines taking jobs and killing people.
One of the great under-reported atrocities of the WWII is re-assessed: the Siege of Leningrad.
Vote 1 Blender! The weird and wonderful party logos of Egyptian politics.
