Weekend Readings

Didn't even think that it was possible to induce snow by seeding the clouds: Chinese Meterology

Just in case you don't know...the church that I'm a member of: Crossroads Presbyterian Fellowship

Ever since I've read  the famous linguistic Prof. McWhorter's book Word on the Street I've been a huge fan of Prof. John McWhorter of Columbia University.  His recent article did not fail to hold my attention: The Cosmopolitan Tongue

Interesting article: Beauty, Art and Darwin The author asked, " It is possible that we have a kind of built-in moral resistance to the runaway pathologies now visible in the arts. Where did that resistance come from?" - I'm still processing this article. Made many interesting points.

Whether you agree with climate change or not - Clive James's article In Praise of Skepticism was an enjoyable read.

Very informative article by the Washington Post on the H1N1 Flu (a side note: I've noticed that the CDC folks no longer call the flu by the origins - for example it originated in Mexico - so it should be called the Mexican Flu.  The Swine Flu has nothing to do with Swines...Guess PC reigns brightly here)
