Various and Sundry, April 15

I actually didn't flag a lot to share this week. I did love this obituary for Thomas Eisner, an entomologist who studied insect chemical warfare, among other things. The obit quote: “Insects won’t inherit the Earth,” Eisner once said. “They own it now.”

I had to laugh this week when that blog entry about The Giving Tree that got me all hot and bothered a couple of weeks ago showed up on Andrew Sullivan's blog. I'm not the only one to get hot and bothered. Best of all, though, was this video from Sassy Gay Friend, staging an intervention.



And of course you MUST check out this year's winners of the Washington Post Peep Diorama contest. Congratulations to the winner!
