tamaranth1. Bint magazine. How have I missed this? How have I managed? (Am 75.5% bint. And much amused -- though not at werk -- by the True Confessions.) EDIT: link fixed
2. Internet is social glue.. In other news, Pope is Catholic: but there are certainly people (my sister, for one) who don't believe that online society can be anything more than a pale shadow* of Real Life. It's encouraging to see that more and more people regard it as a supplement to real-life interaction. I don't think I would have been so ready to move out of London, away from my social circle(s), if I hadn't known that I could 'stay in touch' via LJ and so on.
3. I've been thinking about paperweights. An anachronism in modern, draught-proof housing? (Let's assume it's winter and you don't have the windows open.) Not at all. Their primary function -- on my desk, at least -- is no longer to hold paper down: it's to mark top-of-stack.
4. Under half those questioned in a recent survey believed in evolution. USA? No, UK. *emigrates*
5. Good old Google, wishing Wolfgang a happy 250th birthday.
* what a peculiar turn of phrase, now I come to think of it. Shadows are not usually noted for their pallor.
