Those wacky English folks! Some of them are so introverted, you can’t even tell if they’re here…. or gone (And their families aren’t much help either)!

A Holiday I Can Believe In
Hey kids. We’ve really got to celebrate this one. February 12th (next week Thursday) is Darwin Day. If anyone has any ideas about how to celebrate this, post ‘em here!
Time Warp
I happened upon something interesting at Slate magazine. Apparently back in the early 70s, John Kerry was a subject of some old Doonesbury cartoons. When I saw the link, I thought that the comic strips might be “old” ones (as in not really old, but meant to look like it), but they appear to be genuine. So check out the “gorgeous preppie”!
Bombard Away!
Seriously, if anyone here has suggestions (like some of these) on how to save the Hubble telescope, please let NASA know. Apparently they’re willing to listen, which is good because it would be stupid to let the Hubble die because of Dubya’s new budgetary plans.
Educate Yourself!
Remember those 16mm educational films they used to show in class to teach you about periods and things? A site called the Prelinger Archives (thanks, Glen!) links to some you can download and watch with Quicktime or Real. Included in their list of the most downloaded are “Are You Popular?”, “As Boys Grow” (featuring a rather creepy coach), “Molly Grows Up,” and “A is for Atom.” People even post reviews!
I learned from “Molly” that when I’m on my period, I should only square dance in moderation. Very good to know.
