Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Humor:
(or art) Wired says that a  Swedish artist has been sending all sorts of  strange items through the European postal system -- unwrapped.
Science:
(sort of) Wired on the  association between  Peanuts, the comic strip, and NASA.
The Panda's Thumb reports  on a newly discovered fossil primate. It's not nearly as important as the hype  over it has indicated.
CSI, NCIS, etc., notwithstanding, much  forensics, such as fingerprint analysis, is not  really backed by solid scientific research, reports the New York  Times .
Politics:
(sort of) Wired tells  us that the Federal Communications Commission can search your house or  business without a  warrant.
