Recruits! Before the altar and the servant of God you have given me your oath of allegiance… You have sworn fidelity to me, you are the children of my guard, you are my soldiers, you have surrendered yourself to me, body and soul. // Only one enemy can exist for you — my enemy. With the present Socialist machinations, it may happen that I shall order you to shoot down your own relatives, your brothers, or even your parents — which God forbid — and then you are bound in duty implicitly to obey my orders.
[German Kaiser Wilhelm II, speech, 1891]

Uh-oh, I almost missed it — the latest Tangled Bank is available. Get over there and read it belatedly!
I'm also looking for new hosts — if you're interested, volunteer.
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

You mentioned an Iron Squid the other day. Here's an Incredible Hulk Squid, which can slap the entire VWRC silly. Well, sillier, anyway.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a host?
Posted by: ScottS-M | May 5, 2008 8:32 AM
Cynthax, a host for Tangled Bank signs up to put up a post on their website for the Tangled Bank blog carnival (a biweekly collection of biology posts). Then people email you (through host@tangledbank) their submissions over the course of a couple weeks and you put them all together and try to make some sort of coherent thread out of them. It's fun to read all the posts although the coherent thread part seems a bit tough.

I encourage people to host, it was great fun for me to put one together. The best part was getting the sneak peek on submissions from blogs I had never read before.
