Hi  folks,

If you're looking for something to procrastinate with on a dreary  Monday 
lunchtime, I heartily recommend checking out the latest SV-POW!  posts. For a 
change, this week's articles are not long, long descriptions of  bits of 
sauropod vertebrae that no-one else even knew existed, but are  discussions 
of 
the science and ethics that accompany the recently published  _Aerosteon_ 
paper. 
You can find part 1  here:

http://svpow.wordpress.com/2008/10/04/the-aerosteon-saga-part-1-introduction-a
nd-background/

and  it's  sequel:

http://svpow.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/the-aerosteon-saga-part-2-overinflation-
and-undercitation/

Recommended  reading for anyone with an interest in performing and publishing 
scientific  research, I reckon.
