Post-Holiday Linkdump

Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #156: Sandman, Goon, and Marvel's Racy Comic.

More on Robert Asprin's death, from the friend who found him. And Phil Foglio remembers.

More Mystery Parade. Cliffe puts up eight more images of the Seattle Mystery parade.

Follow-up: The British legal system won't punish a boy for calling Scientology a cult. If you read further down, you'll note that Scientologists have been bribing London police, which is why the boy was abused in the first place, no doubt.

Flat Pack Housing. I still think more people should be using shipping containers as housing.

Wil Wheaton's short tale "Blue Light Special" is adapted to comic form. Now I understand the Lando thing the guy in front of me at ECCC was talking about.

We need more people like Daniel Burd to solve today's problems today. Good job, Daniel! Let's get rid of that plastic.

The almost pandemic of SARS, and how it was stopped. With a 10% fatality rate, had it not been contained, it could've been worse than the 1918 flu epidemic.

Weezer - Pork and Beans (YouTube), a tribute to internet memes. I'm happy to say that I need an annotated version.

Morons want to ban wi-fi because they've convinced themselves they are allergic to it. Ok, they need a double-blind study (or two or three) before I'll even start to be convinced that they are anything other than Luddites simply afraid of technology.

Pug for the in-laws.
