Assorted links, vol. 20

--A humorous take on the fact that the Pope has begun to use Twitter.
--What do dominatrices (dominatrixes?) do in their spare time?  This one wrote a memoir.
*--Awesome article about the correspondences between Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz.  I would actually be interested to read the new book about them, despite it's length (832 pages...).
*--You have to check this out!  On this website, there are real papyri uncovered in Egypt at Oxyrhynchus, and you can help Oxford University transcribe and measure them.  [Side note: I may put up another post, just about this website, because the project seems that cool.]
--Has anyone read, or does anyone know anything about, the book "The Prophet and the Astronomer"?  Sounds like something that might be worth checking out.
--Two new blogs to check out: one by Lucas Mix, an Episcopal priest with an extensive science background, and the other about history, politics, and Christianity -- both added to the sidebar.

That's all for now, but more coming soon!
