A title I’ve stolen shamelessly from Orwell & Goode:
A new superstitious belief has emerged in some areas of Mozambique – that bald men have gold in their head.

I’m still supposedly away – you can see how bad I am at it – and so you’re getting another opportunity to throw together your own pile of links and oddities in the comments. I’ll set the ball rolling with a D-list celebrity’s approach to public relations; Apollo 11 in real-time; this, via Damian; a game called Dissembler, which is trickier than it may seem; and some miniature sculptures made of dandelion seeds.
Oh, and how to peel garlic.
