Links to geniuses.

Listening to Joanna Newsom's new release. I'll be digesting this one for a while.

Revisiting this post on Artblog just so I can bask in the glory that is Hunter Stabler's genius. Planning a trip to Philly to see this, stat.

Edit: Speaking of genius, Christopher Langan too. "You cannot describe the universe completely with any accuracy unless you're willing to admit that it's both physical and mental in nature." I mean, christ, that's what I've been trying to tell people and no one listens!

Last edit and then I'm going to bed I swear: Another one! But before you read it, see if you can guess the correct answer to this question:

"A shopkeeper says she has two new baby beagles to show you, but she doesn't know whether they're male, female, or a pair. You tell her that you want only a male, and she telephones the fellow who's giving them a bath. "Is at least one a male?" she asks him. "Yes!" she informs you with a smile. What is the probability that the other one is a male?"

And good night.
