Today: links from others! I'm still getting caught up from the trip - thanks to Cassandra and Holly for sending in some links!

From Cassandra: a page of wonderful time wasters and an article on the incredible Wellcome collection.

From Holly: the cats of Russia's Hermitage Museum.

From both of them: the winners of the IgNobel Prizes, and an account of the proceedings!

Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. We'll be back to normal posting schedule on Monday!
