One on the traditional counting system of Welsh.

One on shopping malls considering tracking cell phones. And here we always thought surveillance would come from the despotic government.

An older link about a study on bellybutton bacteria. Ew!

And finally, a cute video about a little boy meeting his first gay couple. And would you believe, there are people who think if gay people get married, other people's kids will be confused and traumatized? Some people don't want to parent their kids, really.

Love the Welsh counting article. Crazier than Japanese counting!

Do you mean crazier than French? Japanese is perfectly straightforward until you reach numbers greater than 9999...

No... I meant Japanese? And I guess I was thinking more of things like the days of the month.

Heh, yeah, as soon as you count something specific, things get really messed up. Those classifiers are indeed just crazy.
