Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! We're doing another book giveaway here; look for a post a little later today. For now, it's time for the Friday links from others. Many thanks to everyone!



Julie has been sending updates on the auditions for the Brighton Festival's Pickled Person; the lucky(?) winner will appear in an act in the Circus of Horrors. Man, I gotta visit Brighton some day.


Also from Julie: Thousands of people were afraid there would be a massive earthquake in Rome this week. Eerily, there was an earthquake the day of the prediction...but in Spain. Maybe that seismologist was on to something?



From Cassandra: Is your husband a psychopath? Let's hope not!



From Bunny: Is your husband living atop a Waffle House? (Again, let's hope not.)



Also from Bunny: a hamster discovers the concept of centrifugal force.



From Zazoo: Anderson Cooper needs to embrace his inner club kid; there's photographic proof showing he knew how to do so at an early age!



Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! And a spiffy week, as well -- I'll be gadding about and will probably not be updating Folderol till the 23rd. Enter our crazy contests, be well, and I'll see you back here soon!
