Stencil of Richard Nixon

The mating habits of various species, a neo-bluesman’s first solo recording, and prosthetics for your face. These are just a few of the very cool things we discovered recently, thanks to the supremely clued-in folks at the Very Short List. Every day they send out emails about what’s new and interesting in pop culture, in science, and on the web. Very Short List editor-in-chief Alex Abramovich joins us once more with his own short list of what’s new and exciting.
