Kissing and Comic Books

Category: BlogsBooksEconomicsPop CultureScienceSocial-Science
Posted on: June 8, 2009 10:53 PM, by Chad Orzel

Two things that are worth a plug beyond the Links Dump level:

1) Over at the Intersection, Sheril Kirshenbaum wants you to look at pictures of people kissing. This is for Science, so stop giggling, and tell her what you think of the pictures.

2) There's a new blog, Ecocomics, dedicated to exploring the burning questions of how the principles of economics play out in superhero comics. This is both more and less silly than that description makes it sound. If you'd like a participatory entry to parallel Sheril's kissing survey, they're asking readers who's the richest character in comics.

"This is for Science, so stop giggling"

I think we can kiss off an email survey as being scientific, Chad!
