Cool Stuff in the Blogosphere

Category: Blogging
Posted on: November 10, 2007 9:31 PM, by Greg Laden

A dozen or so good (or, should I say "frais") reads from my friends and neighbors:


Aetiology: Tuberculosis as a zoonotic disease

...While M. tuberculosis is primarily a human disease, like the MRSA I mentioned yesterday, it has the potential to be zoonotic as well--to move between animals and humans. This has been documented for a number of animal species, but one of the best-studied examples happens to be elephants,...

Blogfish: Great white shark frenzy resembles fraternity party

Check out this gruesome video.


Laelaps: Cheesy Movie of the Week

When this movie came out (on DVD) I had to watch it, since I grew up not all that far from Lake Placid. Turns out this is a different lake. Laelaps has a clip.

Sandwalk: The Photosynthesis Song and a Pet Peeve

Larry Moran spotted the Photosynthesis Song on my site, and points out additional problems with the film. I'll have to update that post to point to his erratum.


Planetargonautes: frais ou physique?

"J'adore ces nouveaux qualificatifs apparus très récemment :

-"frais" pour signifier : cool, dans le coup, ayant tout compris, porteur de joie, bien vu, malin, sympatoche
- "physique" pour qualifier tout ce qui est grasseillant, à côté de la plaque, kitsch, bof, méchant, naze, dénué de potentiel, pue des pieds"

... it's always important to keep up with the latest terms in the language of love and post-modernism...


Afarensis: Kenya and the Creationists: An Update

An update on the maneno embroiling the National Museum of Kenya regarding its displays of ... OMG ... hominid fossils...

RealClimate: Find the Error

Another installment from Real Climate critiquing climate denialism idiocy.

Science Buzz: Dolphins come to surfer's rescue in shark attack


When surfer Todd Endris was surfing near Monterey on Aug. 28, a 12- to 15-foot great white shark attacked him. It's not uncommon for surfers to be the targets of sharks, who look up through the water to see what they think is a tasty seal.

... and then he was saved by dolphins...


Pharyngula: The Catholic League catches on to our latest subterfuge in the War on Christmas

Hey, its not even Thanksgiving yet, and we're already doing Christmas? Well, I suppose it is never too early to start training as foot soldiers in the war on this blessed holiday...

Cognitive Daily: Casual Fridays: Who cleans up after who? And who's angry about it?

The results of a survey of who cleans up, and who is most annoyed at the mess.

Cosmic Variance: Comet Holmes

If you have not been following this, you should have a look. This comet sort of blew up on its current fly-by of earth. I wonder if it ran into one of those comet-chasing space ships...


Adventures in Ethics and Science: Quick thoughts on the Writers' Guild of America strike.

Further discussion on the writer's strike.

Tangled Up in Blue Guy: Politeness and the Atheism Bug

Appeasement, the New Atheism, talking to Christians and stuff.
