I've become the links queen lately. I belong to several feeds and recently they've been hitting the strange sauce rather heavily. I'm going to try to confine the link salad to one or two days a week because Lawd knows ya'll have got quite enough to read as it is. But some of this stuff was too delicious not to pass along in hopes it tickles somebody's imagination.
Like this eerie tale of bones found in a basement and ghost hunters who claim an apparition showed them where to look.
Or this scholar who has come up with a method of decoding the Voynich Manuscript which has puzzled folks for centuries. Alas, her methodology seems to work quite well and is disappointingly mundane. Where are the arcane mysteries of yesteryear, I asks ya?
My synopsis here couldn't possibly top the headline for this article: "Sorry I ate your great-great grandpa." I think some of the comments have it right, though. Westerners have quite a lot to apologize for themselves.
Another sad tale of ancient Indian burials being disturbed in a cavalier manner.
You could not pay me to move into this subdivision. Respect, people. It isn't that hard to figure out.
Under the category of Neato Kobeato! you can now visit Pompeii through Google Street View.
