Just a handful of interesting things I've found that I thought I'd share:

- First is from the Nobel prize website, which now features an illustrated map of 20th century conflicts.
- BBC Radio 3 has a page on the building of a jazz library.
- For a limited time, you can buy more intangible things on ebay.
- A poll of 2000 readers of Total Guitar magazine has culminated in the top 20 guitar riffs of all time, although looking at the list I think it's a biased sample.
- A happy belated birthday to BASIC, which turned 40 on May 1st.
- MI5 has a brand new homepage, apparently for the first time ever. One thing about European web designers - they know how to make things look good.
- Interested in calculating the speed of light? If you have a microwave, some marshmallows and the instructions from this page, you're good to go.
- A list of the 46 best freeware utilities.
- Arnold gets all hot under the collar about his bobblehead doll.

Finally, if this story needed a byline, it would be 'why Christian Evangelicals scare me.' You just have to read the opening paragraph:

Robert and Schon Passmore took their children to Disney World last fall and left bitterly disappointed. As Christians who reject evolutionary theory, the family scoffed at the park's dinosaur attractions, which date the apatosaurus, brachiosaurus and the like to prehistoric times.

Why are we still debating evolution vs creationism? Can somebody please explain the idea of metaphor (or even the concept of 'creation myth') to these people?

*sigh*
