anotheranonA Perfect Medium: Photography and the Occult - could be described as a history of photo manipulation and the interesting effects of double exposure, but so what - I love this sort of thing :) Besides, I don't think they're making any supernatural claims anyway - I notice that they include one of the Cottingley "fairy" photos, which have long been known to be hoaxes.
20 million year old spider found in amber - I don't care, it's still nasty!
Even nastier: fire ant colony floating in water - I swear, I thought the stories of fire ants massing together to ride out Katrina were urban legends until I saw the pictures! More info, especially on how to leave them alone :P
And, of course, it's Pandemic Flu Awareness Week. Note that FluWikie is interested in preparedness, not panic.
And hell, I'll give you one more, because of my interest in lay epidemiology: Aetiology, a blog about infectious disease (which appropriately has a 3-parter on pandemic flu). For some reason I'm having difficulty accessing it; if anyone can provide me with the URL for their RSS feed I'd much appreciate that :)
For future reference - I may have some Posts of Substance with genuine effort made at contemplation over the next few days due to an abundance of interesting news stories that I've run across. Be alert, but don't hold your breath - I doing my impression of the Great Procrastinator :P

And I dare to differ :) Spiders are very honest creatures, it's just this with us seldom watching them close enough to see what they are saying that makes things abit confuzzled.

Date: 2005-10-06 11:39 am (UTC)Don't get me wrong - intellectually I know that spiders are marvels of evolution and supremely cool in their abilities - it's just that my lizard brain tells me to run when I see one!
