Link Salad, A Rotary Day Edition

A) Cowboy up and pay your taxes!
B) A fascinating piece from the archives about the history of turning an airplane and flying in clouds - the turn.
C) Via Karl Schroeder, guest-blogging on Charlie Stross's blog, an example of group-think at its finest: in space, all tethers break.
D) Apparently not all of the Viking warriors who went a-Viking-ing were men: Invasion of the Viking Women.
E) A few links of general interest to those who follow maritime activities. First, US Coast Guard rescues 15 stranded on Pacific island. Second, in the sub-category of "more bad news" Italian ship attacked by pirates off West African coast.
F) Lastly, a bit of political humor, I don't agree with the premise, but it's still true: We could have had the moon, instead we get Afghanistan.
