Thanks all for the SF recs -- they've been quite helpful while shopping. In return, here's some link salad for ya:

• Zombie haiku, celebrity poet edition. (via)
  
  
• There's a Dark Doodad Nebula. No, really.
  
  
• The answer to life, the universe, and the third moment of the Riemann zeta function may be 42. No, really. (via)
  
  
• Multiple studies show that children get just as hyperactive on a placebo as on sugar. All together now: No, really. (via)
  
  
• You cannot resist the cute baby catepillar. (via)
  
  
• One of these days, once they have jelled, I will write up my thoughts on the rhetoric of Wikipedia articles. Until then, I will have to simply emit cartoon ♥s over articles like this list of common misconceptions. (via)
  
  
• Deserving more publicity: the OpenStreetMap project, a collaborative geographic data project. Or in simpler terms, wiki-Google-Maps. It has a derivative project, OpenCycleMap.
