From [livejournal.com profile] velveteenrabbi via [livejournal.com profile] cellio: Tractate Laundry, a talmudic discussion of issues pertaining to, yes, laundry.

[livejournal.com profile] hrj reviews low-cal and other alternative cheeses. I giggled a lot at the line "It doesn't even rise to tasting like a cross between silly putty and rubber..."

Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] william_mary -- today is the 315th anniversary of the signing of the Charter of The College of William and Mary.

[livejournal.com profile] ayrfield points out a TV piece from 2006 about a guy who's going back to basics for moving and lifting heavy objects, and its possible application to how the vertical rocks at Stonehenge might have been raised. No indication in the story of how the cross-pieces might have been placed; the guy has put up a small arch but no explanation was given for how he got the cross-piece up either.

From IEEE Spectrum via [livejournal.com profile] ext_42142... Dean Kamen's "Luke Arm" Prosthesis Readies for Clinical Trials. There's also a video demonstrating the arm and its capabilities. I hope they get funding for said clinical trials.

Looking forward to seeing people at the Carnivale event. What's your weekend looking like?
