Headlines under the fold

NYTimes notices a million Zim refugees in South Africa...hmm. The UN report last week mentioned Iraq, Sudan, and Afghanistan but must have missed these people.

The hottest investment opportunity....Kurdistan.

Hotdog eating champion develops TMJ...wonder if he will get workman's comp.

Gasoline rationing

last week I wrote about Cordwainer Smith's underpeople. Via Secondhand smoke, links: Making Manimals .

Can robots be far behind? Or maybe not..
