Today in Literary History: Stephen Crane dies of tuberculosis in 1900.
The desk on which Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations is sold at auction for $850,000. Proceeds will go to a children's hospital on London.
Butterflies! I love butterflies. In Greek, the word for butterfly is (phonetically spelled) petaludia, which means flying flower.
I love this picture. Every time I get all droopy about the state of affairs here in the US, I remember in parts of Britain, everyone is photographed all the time on cctv. This picture makes me laugh and shiver at the same time (via):
Pulp's "Common People," performed by William Shatner in a video mash-up using footage from the classic cartoon. Please watch. Boing Boing called it slash, but I know slash and this is just plain fun:

Oooohh! I love butterflies too! Love creatures. Even have a book of butterfly photos I got for some birthday many eons ago.
Don't have time to watch the video but certainly will this evening. Love Star Trek and even William Shatner. ;-D
I love that video! LOVE.
That William Shatner's done some stuff - I still cringe when I think of his Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
I don't think that starship trooper picture is from a CCTV camera, 'cos the picture's far too clear. They have installed such rubbish that they are pretty well useless.
Glad I managed to post something to amuse everyone.
And for the record, I never thought that pic was from CCTV, just the whole, you know, storm troopers, cops, British thing made me think of surveillance and death stars and you know what? I'm a total nerd.
LOL That was hilarious! I have a confession. I actually have that William Shatner CD. LOL Hey, it's Captain Kirk, man! Someone gave it to me as a gag Christmas gift but I really like it.
