We're getting ready for another snowstorm (it's going to be one of those winters, apparently). In the meantime, I give you links!

The season for top ___ of 2010 is beginning along with the snow. Here are the 14 best astronomy photos of the year, and it's true, they're fantastic. The one showing the northern pole of Mars is surreal.

Also surreal: How Wings Are Attached to the Backs of Angels. No words, just images and music, and a lovely spookiness.

In Belgium, one man's found a way to celebrate the ugliness of modern civilization. Sounds like something out of a dystopian movie, but it's real!

This just in! Did you know that nuns are sometimes wild and crazy women? (If you are shocked by this idea, you have not met many nuns. I suspect.)

Advance notice for additional wild and crazy behavior: next week brings the Winter Solstice and the Burning of the Clocks. Start planning now! (Swiped from Julie's Facebook -- thanks, Julie!)
