links of the week

• How kids see scientists. I'm bummed not many of them want to study math or chemistry.
  
• Rising population of Jellyfish due to global warming!? I wonder if it can be made edible.
  
• If I offer twenty-thousand pounds to kill me, I expect you to do it. Otherwise, I will sue you for deception.
  
• Literacy: It isn't just reading prose or articles. It's also being able to scan credit card offers. Two trillion dollars in consumer debt, and the deficit still outpaces the growth of disposable income. Heh heh heh.
  
• Copper-scarcity. A limiting factor.
  
• Church and state separation: Muslims in America don't understand how it allows them greater freedom to celebrate their religion than even their own home countries.
