How to Distinguish Fiction From NonfictionTelling fact from fiction isn't always easy on the on the web. Now researchers have discovered a method that could help automate the process. Fascinating. But I have to say that sometimes, the jokes, they write themselves.

Rastafarians and Quakers — How young religions adapt.

Bulldozers Meet Historic Chinese Neighborhood — Ah, hutongs. (Thanks to Dad.)

The 100-year-old salamander — Also known as "the human fish". Really...?

Snakes in the MRI Machine: A Study of Courage What courage looks like in the brain--in real time. As if it were not bad enough in there... (Thanks to David Goldman.)

Shirley Sherrod and the shame of conservative media — Worth the read, no matter where you fall on the political spectrum.

"Context is Everything" — More about Breitbart and the Sherrod video. Also, Scrivener's Error with a great rant on the same topic.
