Beware of whatevers

Greetings.

Jewish date:  27 ’Iyyar 5770 (Parashath BeMidhbar).

Today’s quasi-holiday:  Eat What You Want Day.

Worthy causes of the day:  “CARE : Defending Dignity - Fighting Poverty :  International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act”, “Stop Terrorists from Buying Guns and Explosives - The Petition Site”, “Friends of the Earth U.S.:  Tell President Obama to Support a Financial Speculation Tax”, “Save BioGems: Take Action: Stop the Pebble Mine”, “Ban New Offshore Drilling - The Petition Site”, “Working Families » Take Action!:  Sign the petition to Albany”, “Take Action: TrueMajority.org:  Mr. President, THIS is why drilling is bad.”, “Empowering Women Can Save Children - The Petition Site”, and “Heart Disease and Stroke. You’re the Cure.:  Ask Your Legislator to Override the Veto!”

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Comprehensive study of 'time twins' debunks astrology”:  Completely unsurprising.
• “World's Biggest Beaver Dam Visible From Space”
• “U.S. Farmers Cope With Roundup-Resistant Weeds”:  Yes, evolution is at work here.
• “A Single Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster than Your PC”
• “Unconventional thinkers or recklessly dangerous minds?”:  About AIDS denialism and the question of how to deal with it.  This is not a trivial issue since AIDS kills people.
• “Robots With Knives: A Study of Soft-Tissue Injury in Robotics”

Today’s weird thing is “grand lunar after ur tang”:

Enjoy, share the weirdness, and keep that whatever away from your Tang.
