The one article I'll keep from this weekend's papers is apparently not available on line: an article in the Globe travel section on the fabulous scuba-diving off the remote Indonesian island of Pulau Weh. Of course, all these fabulous-diving/remote-island pieces are exactly the same, so just take this as an invitation to construct your own tropical reverie instead.... Still, did you know that there's something called the megamouth shark, a prehistoric looking deepwater monster discovered only in 1976 and sighted only 42 times since? Pulau Weh's got 'em. (Now and then.)
While we're on the subject of stuff you and I didn't know, follow the links to the golden hats. (is that cool or what? don't you want one??) This is why it's worth reading even right-wing blogs now and then, if the right-winger is sufficiently idiosyncratic.

Speaking of gold hats: I can put my battered English lit degree to some use here - http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/1476.html
The Threadkiller totally wants a gold conehead.
I keep reading "conical" as "comical". And looking more closely, I'm not entirely sure they were meant for heads ...
Erm, I think they would be an awkward fit for anything else, no?
Now, now, SOTW. At a height of 88 cm, any individual would have trouble balancing one of those things on his head, let alone any other body part.
But to be fair, they are indeed rather comical, in addition to being conical.
