Barack Obama wins a historic presidential election. Now the really hard work begins for him.
*
The Weird Body Quiz. I scored 8 out of 10, since I’m good at weird stuff.
*
Nebraska is turning into a national dumping ground for unwanted kids. Since a  broad law intended to save infants passed, 27 children children up to age 16 have been relinquished.
*
Urban Knitting, the world’s most inoffensive graffiti. Who wouldn’t want a cozy for the corner street sign?
*
The coolest way to get home after a long day’s work. And no greenhouse gasses, either!
*
The 500 million year old octopus. Fossils of the eight-armed creature who preceded dinosaurs have been found in both Australia and China.
*
Wanna learn something about Rube Goldberg? No? OK, just watch a bunch of videos of Rube Goldberg contraptions.

  1. I got 8 out of 10 as well on the weird body quiz.

    And in a rare political moment: YAY!!!! I haven’t had such a sleepless night I was going to Disneyland for the first time. I’m so excited that Americans are excited about government.

  2. Actually, Nebraska called a special session of congress to change the wording of their Safe Haven law to only include infants.

  3. I love Rube Goldberg devices, so a big thanks for the videos.

    Recaptcha: “man’s dance.” Heh.

  4. I am embarrassed on 2 counts:

    1. I only got 5/10 on the wierd body quiz.

    2. I don’t know what the Recaptcha: references mean on these comment sections. I even googled it and I am missing the connection between the digitizing software and how it is used in the comments. Can someone enlighten me?

  5. Diana,
    Don’t be embarrassed, I only got 5 too. About the Recaptcha question, as I understand it, the Recaptcha phrase is completely random. People like to include it in their post if they think it has a funny relation to the article. Mine was “corn wheat”, not so relevant.

  6. Diana, the reCaptcha phrase refers to the red box you have to fill in to prove you’re not a robot when posting a comment.

  7. Thanks for the info!

    Possibly why I feel so embarrassed about my 5/10 score is that I am a biologist :)
