The plot summary of one megachurch’s big Christmas event. I wasn’t sure whether or not to post this link… but the evil penguins put me over the edge. [When I lived in China, my colleagues and I often recounted tales of sinister penguins and their diabolical plots to ruin life as we know it.]
Name a Mathematical Theorem After a Loved One
Just in case any of you were thinking about surprising me this Christmas with this gift, know that, while it’s a nice gesture, it is quite unneeded (and completely a waste of your time and money).

An entire blog devoted to awesome sandwiches and burgers. Yes, that is the best thing since, and to go with, sliced bread. My favorite so far, Quadzilla:
1/4 lb ribs, 4 x 1/3 lb patties, 8 strips bacon, 4 slices pepper jack cheese, and barbecue sauce
