Science:
Elevation is an emotion, and the vagus nerve mediates it, according to Slate.
Wired has posted photos of 12 "living fossils." Some of them are really strange . . .
Speaking of photos of strange animals, I posted a photo of a land planarian, which was about the size and shape of a skinny pencil, except for the triangular head. It was oozing across our driveway.
I am pleased, by the way, to have been a Flickr member for four years today.
Christianity:
(Islam, in this case, but I'm not using a "religion" category.) Wisconsin Public Radio has a series, "Inside Islam." It looks like many of the posts/broadcasts are about the status of women in Muslim areas.

Thanks for the link! Hope you stop by and leave a comment sometime.
ReplyDeleteMy students think I am a living fossil - - - they even gave me a "Fossil Appreciation Day Card" one year.
ReplyDeleteLovely bunch.
Thanks, both of you.
ReplyDeleteKaitlin, I guess you are from Wisconsin Public Radio, which I used to listen to a lot.
Keetha, I go back before fossilization. Your students have no real appreciation of what "old" is. . .
Perhaps it really is relative.
ReplyDeleteer, probably.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
