Beware of 40 birds and an electric guitar

Greetings.

Jewish date:  28 Shevaṭ 5770 (Parashath Mishpaṭim).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Darwin Day, Lincoln’s Birthday.

Worthy causes of the day:  “Save Martin Grossman - The Petition Site” and “Keep Children Safe: Train Child Care Workers - The Petition Site”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Long-Locked Genome of Ancient Man Sequenced”
  
• “Chocolate Chips Away at Stroke Risk”
  
• “U.S. would reap billions from $1 cigarette tax hike”
  
• “No joke: South Carolina now requires ’subversives’ to register”
  
• “Unclutter your hard drive”

Today’s weird thing, submitted by Barry, is “Gomp/arts: 40 wild birds play a Gibson Les Paul guitar”.  Arguably this should be abuse of a musical instrument, but the result is better than I expected.  Enjoy, share the weirdness, and Shabbath shalom.
