larryhammer... time to realize you were never on the team
Interview with a conservative Christian soldier who became a conscientious objector while serving in Iraq (via).
More delightful results from the annals of Chinese mistranslations: Taste: Kim Possible.
Raptors using white plastic bags to advertise fitness (via) at defending their territory. And refusing to lie about it, too.
Word clouds of the texts of 22,000 horoscopes reveal that the average prediction is essentially the same for all 12 signs (via).
A NYT feature on girls living as boys in Afghanistan, and the social pressures to and to not do so. I'm not sure whether to call them transgender, though certainly something genderqueer is going on, in part because I don't have enough context to figure out if the Western concept can apply here. (I've been forgetting to post this one for a while.)
Department of irrelevant manga w00t!age: Tezuka's Princess Knight has FINALLY BEEN LICENSED. By Vertical (who else), publishing the original version in two volumes later this year. That's right -- shoujo from the 50s, before the Year 24 Group remade the world.
ETA: All the volcano webcams of the world (via) in one long, helpful blog post. ALL the volcano cams. DUDE.
