Some Linkables

* Kevin Edgecomb has a fascinating post on the titles of the Psalms at "Biblicalia".

* Alejandro suggests the introduction of a new word into the English language, upstuff.

* Bora has had some interesting discussions in the 'Framing Science' dispute that erupted on several science blogs recently. See here, here, and here.

*Johnny Hart, the creator of B.C. and the co-creator of The Wizard of Id, died on April 7th of a stroke. He was one of the great innovators of the comics pages, one of the few in the league of greats like (earlier) Charles Schulz and (much later) Bill Watterson. It is fitting, then, that he died at his storyboard.

* On April 29th, Siris will be hosting the early modern edition of Carnivalesque. If, since the last early modern edition (February 24th) you have had a post on the period from 1450-1850, submit it. You can submit in three ways:

(1) E-mail me at branemrys[at]yahoo[dot]com
(2) Use the carnival address, carnivalesque[at]earlymodernweb[dot]org[dot]uk
(3) Use the Blog Carnival submission form
