Tuesday Hangovers - Gwenda Bond

Fun with Wikipedia. (Via Feoshia.)
Damn that Gilly/Butner/DeNiro continuum for getting us hooked on The Kingdom of Loathing (I’m Mrs Parker, Disco Bandit; why do you ask?) Alan, we want to InfernoKrush!
Rebecca Skloot on the Robert Hooke manuscript discovered in an old cupboard. Why don’t we ever have this kind of luck? Pls, dead scientists, send scratch.
La Gringa has the codes you can use to get cheap Ts at the Secret Threadless T-shirt Sale.
Scariest photo ever. (Via Mr. McLaren, fancy web man.)
An excellent Hollywood post by Josh Friedman.
Stopping robots, especially since Philip K. Dick’s is on the loose.
Over at Pub Rants, Agent Kristin posts some thoughts by one of her authors on publicists. Worth a look.
Matt Cheney’s latest Strange Horizons column is also worth a look (read: truly excellent). And so is some discussion spurred by it at Hannah’s place. (And a dashed off two cents to that one: For me as a reader, the best thing any reviewer can do is firmly and clearly establish their taste, their POV, where they are rapping from — because if I know that, I can generally make a judgment as to how much a given book is going to appeal to me based on their reaction (maybe even if it’s poorly articulated).) Anyway. There’s also Elizabeth Bear’s latest amazing post, which seems a response to this and larger things too.
