We're all a little weather-obsessed this weekend in the Northeast;
snow-deprived for so long, the major media is treating our current
snowstorm as a
replay of 1978.
My sister called from Iowa to check if we survived.
Folks, it's just snow. Happens most every winter.
That said, Carl Schaad of AccuWeather has a blog, and it's really funny. Check it out. If AccuWeather had a cable channel, I'd totally watch it over those stiffs at The Weather Channel.

GeekPress helpfully

Tyler Cowen, ostensibly an economist, also has his eye out
for matters of true import; via his Marginal Revolution,
he points to a Nature article that reports
one of the enduring mysteries of life (at least for physics majors)
has been solved: do people
swim faster in water or syrup? No spoilers here, you'll have to look
for yourself. One of the University of Minnesota researchers observed:
The fluid looked like snot. I don't know how to describe it any more poetically.
Unfortunately, Minnesota is not in the market for a Poet Laureate. -
But no, it's not all fun and games and shoveling here at Pun Manor
this weekend. We also have our eye on the usual Important Stories.
Via the infidel Treacher,
we have
More Cartoons That Might Offend in the Middle East.
(Well, I'll be darned. Cracked. Still around. Wow.)

Note to Dubya: that hunting trip with Cheney? Bad idea.
(Yes, I'm in competition for the Worst Cheney Hunting Joke.)
