The posting schedule this week is going to be erratic due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Tomorrow I set off for Chicago to spend the weekend with my dad's side of the family. Hopefully I won't be driving through a blizzard to get there.
At any rate, today's links skew toward the geeky. Want to build a robot for an office war? ReadyMechs to the rescue! If you're ready to move on to a higher level, you could build a Dalek. Extermination functions not required, but a plus. If your Dalek (or other mechanized instrument of destruction) runs on electricity, world domination might be an issue unless you have this handy World Electric Guide.
For scientists tired of explaining why science is not always the way it looks in the movies, LabLit does a great job of exploring "the culture of science in fiction and fact."
The I Dare You candy collection is perfect for the 12-year-old boy in your life...or perhaps the person in your life who acts like a 12-year-old boy. I know oodles, myself.
And lastly, a real-life scientific horror story: one man's search for the truth behind his lobotomy. He survived the procedure without much damage, but he was one of the few lucky ones.
