I am shackled to my laptop, writing, writing, writing for a while as all of my body but brain, eyes, and fingers atrophy, so I’m going to have to send you off elsewhere to find your jollies. Gary Farber has compiled a fine collection of short, strange science links…well, some are only tangentially science, but they’re weird, anyway.

Someday, when my work is done, I must make the pilgrimage to Darwin, Minnesota, to see the world’s largest ball of twine.
