Rotary and rain equals link salad. Hey, you get good value for money here! ;-)

A) This year is the 100th anniversary of aerial bombing. How appropriate, then, to celebrate by going back and conducting a bombing campaign in Libya, the place where it all got started.

B) I'm not a biologist, but Peter Watts is, and he points to an article which suggests that we all evolved from cancer cells.

C) I give you the myth of the panicking disaster victims.

D) Tobias Buckell, for one, actually is more in favor of nuclear power now than he was before Japan. No, that's not ironic. Buckell points out that the old and tired Japanese plants, despite getting whacked by an earthquake and a tsunami, haven't killed anybody with radiation yet.

E) From [livejournal.com profile] jaylake, I give you a weather report. It's raining on Titan. Apparently they're having a multi-week gullywasher consisting of liquid natural gas.

F) From the Small Wars Journal, Qaddafi's next moves - basically, fight an insurgency. It's interesting, but given Libya's terrain (flat desert with people in a handful of coastal cities) I'm not entirely sure it's viable.
