- At Zooillogix Benny tells us about cuckoos that can change their cries and frogs that can selectively hear different sounds.
- John Lynch just co-authored a great paper about the importance of the history of science to education. Head on over to Stranger Fruit to congratulate him and have a look (I'll be blogging about this one soon, too).

My favorite entry is the same as Orac's, but for a different reason. He seems to have missed this…
And if those monkeys are complimentary enough, I will post their pics on my blog, so make sure you get them to do a primate threat stare for the camera...
