Science fiction has always provided illustrations of the future of evolution - from H.G. Wells's The Time Machine with its Eloi and Morlocks, to Peter Ward's (less fiction, more science) exploration Future Evolution. The morphological possibilities of Photoshop, however, are often overlooked. Well, no longer. Human Descent provides many examples of possible future genetic freaks.

Gernot Katzer takes a more traditional approach in Everything About Herbs and Spices, a comprehensive spice dictionary covering the use and history of hundreds of spices. (Also available in German.)

Having listened to Germans complaining about having to figure out what English Star Trek titles went to what episode, I knew that Star Trek was different in Germany. I didn't know that they remade the entire show. Beware the space infection of "Kork ist krank" and gaze in confusion at "Handys". It's enough to make me wish I had more than a semester of German--or none at all.

The waves of degeneration and rampant insanity that pass through American culture are perhaps best demonstrated in the names we inflict on our children. The Social Security Administration has thoughtfully provided us with a list of the top ten male and female names in the United States since 1880, as well as other useless but potentially humor-worthy information, such as informing idiotic family members that "Taylor" isn't quite as original as they thought it was, or that when little Michael gets to kindergarten, all his friends will have the same name, and the teacher will have to tattoo numbers on their foreheads to tell them apart.
