‪ח׳ אדר תשס״ז * 26 February: National Pistachio Day

Greetings.

Relevant to today’s quasi-holiday: The Wikipedia “Pistachio” article.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Israeli Apartheid Week: The Fallout ”
  
• “Bacteria Could Steady Buildings Against Earthquakes”
  
• “Kids' prayers aimed against Ahmadinejad” (Considering that governments planetwide are loathe to do anything about Ahmadinejad other than empty talk, this may be our best hope. And that scares me.)
  

Today’s weird thing, contributed by Erin, is “Plastic Jesus” by George Cromarty and Ed Rush. This song has inspired various dancing Jesuses, such as this cartoon, this graphic, and “The Jesus Dance”. There are also the imitations “Plastic Cthulhu” and “Plastic Vishnu”. Enjoy and share the weirdness.
