Assorted links, vol. 9

--Hunch.com, a website that uses information about you to introduce you to new things that you might also like, has two fun cross-sections of their data poll to discover the differences between Mac users and PC users and how your political persuasion corresponds to your eating habits
--Kurt Vonnegut on the equations of stories
--What is responsible for the national debt?
--Stanley Fish on anti-Semitism
--Is Vladimir Putin a reincarnation of St. Paul and/or the founder of the Russian Orthodox Church?  This group thinks so (personally, I'm leaning more toward no...)
--Are you in the market for relics?  If so, you definitely won't want to miss this: the severed head of a man purported to be the fourteenth century St. Vitalis of Assisi (the patron saint of venereal disease -- definitely a joke in here somewhere) will be up for auction on Sunday
