Happy Friday, everyone! On to the links.
From Julie: Meet the Hispaniolan solenodon! It looks a bit as if it was cobbled together from pieces of other rodents.
From my mom: the story of a man who memorized the whole of Paradise Lost, just for kicks.
From Cassandra: Feminist Hulk! YAY! Also from Cassandra: the diversity of language, the history of mermaids and sirens, and the legal implications of owning a robot. (Since they are now working on robots which can attend meetings for you, the legal issues are bound to multiply.)
From around the web: "A Partial Map of your TARDIS." Incredible! I hope there are more in the series.
Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday.

Where is She-Hulk? She-Hulk and Hulk need to have each other's backs.
Re: Mermaid fest! Can't wait!
Re: Languages
My favorite quote:
He and Levinson argue that this is because any given language is a complex system shaped by many factors, including culture, genetics and history. There are no absolutely universal traits of language....
Makes sense as language reflects humanity. Maybe people are lazy or stupid and that's why they insist on rigidly classifying things. It takes work and, probably, intelligence to recognize variance. Maybe. Who knows?
