Friday Links!

Leading off this, a fantastic read (and a series to watch): Secrets of the Elephants series reveals a unique, dynamic animal culture

I wrote a book, and you can see it here: The Man You Trust.

From jdv, and it's a terrific read: The great European house cat migration

This is incredibly useful: Fruit expert shows how to choose the tastiest fruit

Meg McReynolds alert! Scientists sequenced the genome of Balto, famous sled dog of 1925 “Serum Run”.

From C. Lee, and where we are, in particular, is sobering: Mapped: The State of Democracy Around the World. This is incredibly disheartening: Private equity finally delivered Sarah Palin's death panels. This is a fascinating read: Remembering That Time the U.S. Tried to Drill the World’s Deepest Hole. I was surprised: Why Vikings weren't who we thought they were. This doesn't seem surprising: Heavier Vehicles in Aging Parking Garages Are a Recipe for Disaster. An interesting little rabbit hole: How Did the Chess Pieces Get Their Names? Oops: Made Here: Watch How Pink Himalayan Salt Is Mined in Pakistan

From Wally, and this is a terrible trend (pay attention to the people who are doing this and vote against them, please): Banned in the USA: State Laws Supercharge Book Suppression in Schools. This is one tough policeman: 5.1.23 Traffic Crash Sully Police District.

From Daniel Q., and it's just too good: Giant phallus-shaped iceberg floating in Conception Bay surprises residents of Dildo, Canada
