Which looks like a good excuse for a link salad:

• Anyone up for a round of Noun: the Gerunding? (via)
  
  
• An analysis of the chatroom/forum problem as it applies to Facebook. (via)
  
  
• The Big Picture has had some good recent entries:
  1. First, it takes on the five-day camel-trading fair of Pushkar Mela, with bonus award-winning mustache. Warning: excellently camelicious.
     
  2. Then there's Mars seen from HiRISE, with bonus Google Mars links for every shot. I suggest a fresh cup of coffee or tea before starting this one.
• The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected antimatter in terrestrial lighting. (via)
  
  
• An alternate history of the Beatles. (via)
  
  
• A twitter feed that's exactly what it says on the tin: http://twitter.com/big_ben_clock. (via)
  
  
• A blog that's exactly what it says on the tin: how to write badly well. I'm especially fond of the object lesson in syllepsis. (via)
