Weekend Link Dump


Strange company may simply go off to live in a remote cave somewhere.



Just like the cats.

This week's roundup of the Good, the Bad, and the Weird:

So, what the hell is...Eh, you know the rest.

In the midst of life...

The very first photograph of the moon.

The Middle Ages:  Dark Age or Golden Age?

Göbekli Tepe, one of the world's great Mystery Sites.

The ice-skating ghost sisters of Central Park.

A look at the Detectives' Lunch Club, where murder is always on the menu.

A story both happy and sad:  Dallas the Cat finally comes back home.

The strange death of Dr. William Kirwan:  A Victorian murder with some very puzzling elements.

An array of cat superstitions. Whatever you do, don't keep them from singing!

What's the world's most expensive lawn fertilizer, you ask?  A Ferrari, of course.

Face it, scientists.  Poe already said it all for you in "Eureka."

In which we discover that Mayans greatly resembled a modern-day fraternity house.

Let's wrap it up with my favorite photo of the week, via Twitter:



That's all, folks.  Monday, I return with the saga of the Scottish nobleman who was a real little devil.

Considering what sort of blog I have here, I think you can guess I'm not speaking metaphorically.
