Sunspots 200


Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:



Science:
Wired reports on using genetically engineered "lazy"bacteria to fight infections.

Politics:
A CNN commentator honors the late H. R. Gross, a congressman who never took a trip at taxpayer expense, had his wife (at no pay) as office manager, and voted against almost every spending bill.

(or something)
According to CNN, the US Mint says that a new commemorative quarter (the one for the District of Columbia) will be the first US coin featuring an African American. Not so, according to the US Mint's own web site -- George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington appeared on such in the 1950s.

Literature:
(or Christianity, or something) Weekend Fisher has a good post on how long oral tradition lasts, related, in particular, to the gospels.

Christianity:
It's Brady wants us to think about who will cry at your funeral.
