I didn't know whether to put this in "funny" or "best thing today". Someone found my website about my historical novel Saint Mark's Body , looked at the character descriptions there, and used that "information" to edit the Italian Wikipedia article about the real person "Buono da Malamocco" on whom ...

Got roped into playing trombone in church for Pentecost today. Had to play a verse I hadn't seen before, written in treble clef which I don't read... was able to sight-transpose it into bass-Bb (which I can't normally do), and nailed it! Talking to the priest about it afterwards-- she thought it ver...

I've done a lot of reading on so-called "evolutionary fitness" - the idea that the genes are still optimized for survival in the Stone Age.
