Victorian ghostbuster (link roundup)



Victorian ghostbuster by Felipe Sobreiro.

1. A city councilman in Iowa, who led the successful effort to ban pit bulls in Sioux City, is now fighting to prevent the ordered execution of his own dog, who mauled a neighbor. Via.

2. A local government urine tester was arrested in Houston for taking bribes. He's the "second county urine monitor to face bribery charges in connection with court-required urinalysis in two months." Via.

3. A Turkish tv show will feature a Muslim imam, a Greek Orthodox priest, a rabbi, and a Buddhist monk competing to convert atheists. Via.

4. Horrifying story about a lab technician with hepatitis (the hospital knew she had it when they hired her), who was also a heroin user, and who "may have exposed thousands of Colorado patients to hepatitis C when she swapped her own dirty syringes for ones filled with a powerful narcotic." Via.

2. List of sci-fi novels, including Kim Stanley Robinson's excellent Red Mars, available for free download as a pdf.

3. New novel puts Carl Sagan in hell (and features the type of cover I'd be embarrassed to be seen in public with).

4. Mecha-Max (The bunny half of Sam and Max).

Video of an 8-year-old Anderson Cooper on the game show To Tell the Truth

Unfortunately the clip is very short. Anderson Cooper appeared on the show pretending to be the world's youngest bear trainer:
