Sunspots 397

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

Humor: (Not exactly, but I don't have a "Food" category.) A small Georgia town has two fruitcake companies, according to a National Public Radio report on fruitcake, and what is in it, and what it's good for. 

Science:  A study of porcupine quills may help produce better injection needles and surgical wound repair, according to National Public Radio.

The Arts: The World has a report on languages created for works of fantasy literature. You can hear Ursula K. Le Guin, discussing her splendid The Dispossessed, and see a weather report in one of Tolkien's elvish languages.

A fine blog post, with photographs, giving a biography of J. R. R. Tolkien.

Christianity: Kerry i am took a walk with a Haitian man, with no common language, with amazing consequences.
