The other day (don't ask why) I wondered if there was such a thing as a paleo-oncologist. If so , what does one do?
Here's an answer. Only took one Google search.
What's the point? The same site tells us:
Future archeological discoveries and the application of improved diagnostic techniques may enable paleo-oncology to make further contributions to our understanding of cancer.

So, you wanna work for the TSA?
This Web page will give you a chance to see how well you'd do if you were a baggage screener at an airport.
Hopefully, if you work for the TSA, you do better than I did.

I am not a Twit; Neither am I Tweeting
I have noticed my blog posts follow a trend: they are getting shorter and shorter. Still, I refuse to start using Twitter.

New links! New links!
I added some new links to the links page. Here's a brief rundown:
1. WAKY 103.5 FM: Simply my favorite Louisville radio station. Classic rock with a classic radio station feel. They DJs make me feel like they are talking to me, and not purveyors of corporate crap. Plus, they play songs a few tracks deep into an album, meaning you get to hear things you don't on other stations. They stream online, too.
2. The Grand Comic Database: Worth checking out, although it doesn't look like a finished project. It reminds me of Baseball-Reference.com, in that the site is compiling a list of all the comics ever published. Here's how they put it: The Grand Comic-Book Database Project (GCD) is a volunteer project with the goal of documenting and indexing all comics for the free use of scholars, historians, researchers, and fans. I don't have a membership yet, but I may well sign on.
3. Smithsonian Folkways: Looking for some great recordings to peruse and download? There's music, spoken word, sound effects, animal sounds and all kinds of other stuff from all over the world. I'd say, however, their primary focus is folk music, and there's a lot of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly-type music for your pleasure. Here's how they say it: Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution, the national museum of the United States. We are dedicated to supporting cultural diversity and increased understanding among peoples through the documentation, preservation, and dissemination of sound.

Serial cereal blogging
Today, it was Frosted Mini Wheats.
Last week, I had CoCo Wheats several times.
I have had a persistent desire for good grits lately, though.
