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.

Random Quote
A LITTLE BOY LOST
"Nought loves another as itself,
Nor venerates another so,
Nor is it possible to thought
A greater than itself to know:
"And Father, how can I love you
Or any of my brothers more?
I love you like the little bird
That picks up crumbs around the door."
The Priest sat by and heard the child,
In trembling zeal he seiz'd his hair:
He led him by his little coat,
And all admir'd the priestly care.
And standing on the altar high,
"Lo! what a fiend is here!" said he,
"One who sets reason up for judge
Of our most holy Mystery."
The weeping child could not be heard,
The weeping parents were in vain;
They strip'd him to his little shirt,
And bound him in an iron chain;
And burn'd him in a holy place,
Where many had been burn'd before:
The weeping parents wept in vain.
Are such things done on Albion's shore?
[William Blake, from "Songs of Experience"]

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.
