Here is this week’s list of comic strips, poems, and other links from my favourite corners of the web.
Five Good Ideas Science Fiction Teaches Us to Fear via mythcreants. I hope you enjoyed Five Bad Ideas that Science Fiction Teaches Us to Love last week. As promised, here is the follow-up to that post.
Duct Tape 101 via LenieHokansson. A certain sibling of mine is a whiz at anything related to fixing up his house. He’s constantly coming up with weekend projects to make his home even nicer than it already is. I know he reads this blog, and I wonder how many of these tricks he’s tried.
How Mr. Spock Helped a Bi Kid Learn How to Fit In. I loved this story.
Treebound. Maybe this is what really happened to the Ents long after the events of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. At any rate, I prefer it to what happened in the canon.
The Strange Case of the Dented Forehead via StuartRWest. I really want a follow-up post to this one that explains whether Stuart really has a dented forehead and, if so, where it came from.
