"If I were king I'd make you queen -- but I / am just a just a prince and so -- goodbye"

Salads taste better with Italian link dressing.

• Art that baffles the CIA. (via)
  
  
• The Dragnet Fugue aka "Fugue for Friday". (via)
  
  
• Various contrabass wind instruments, with recordings. Including a smoooooth contrabass recorder.
  
  
• And while we're into music, how about some virtuoso Bach on glass harp? (via)
  
  
• Linguistic symptoms of the Sri Lankan civil war -- or rather, language politics in post-colonial tensions.
  
  
• My Personal Credit Crisis, how even an economics journalist, who knew how things were going, could get into trouble with a bad mortgage. (via)
  
  
• Suspension bridges across mountain gorges in China, and other interesting spans.
  
  
• And finally, that classic of Edwardian pogonology, Poets Ranked by Beard Weight. (via)

That last works best on Victorian poets, I suspect.
