Those are great links! One of my favourite Thomas Browne lines is his description of Pseudodoxia Epidemica as being written "by snatches of time, as medical vacations, and the fruitless importunity of uroscopy would permit us". Now I can have the same excuse for procrastination!

I still haven't read the Pseudodoxia -- I liked the urn-burial one quite a bit, in its loopy way, but haven't gotten to Browne's other works yet.
