Friday Links!

Leading off this week, a fascinating story: A suspense novelist's trail of deceptions.

From Meg McReynolds, and it's an excellent obituary: Goodbye, Opportunity Rover. Thank you for letting humanity see Mars with your eyes.

From Matt Kreuch, two excellent musical links: Choir! Choir! Choir! Epic! Nights: David Byrne + NYC sing HEROES and choir! choir! choir! sings The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.

From Wally, and it's fluff, but still interesting: 17 Things No One Tells You About Being On "Jeopardy!". Critical information (Shake Shack and Chic-fil-A are rated far too low): The official fast food French fry power rankings. Absolutely NSFW, but also very funny: I've No More F***s To Give.

From Brian Witte (about Austin, and in my experience, Austin talks much more about being liberal than actually being liberal): The Truth About Being a Black Woman in a Liberal City.

From DQ Reader My Wife, and these are lovely: Valentine's Day and the Romance of Cobwebs.

From Ross Richey, and it's a Radiolab about John Scott and the NHL All-Star Game: The Punchline.

Another set of excellent links from C. Lee. First, and this is quite moving, it's The state that accepted Japanese-Americans. This is terrific: The 'miracle mineral' the world needs. This is very helpful: The Adult Vaccine Assessment Tool. Lemonade, indeed: Turning fat from the sewer into fuel. This is fascinating: Why Evolution Reversed These Insects’ Sex Organs.

From Steven Davis, and it's a delightful bit of Futurama: 1010011010 - Numberphile.
