As a new end of the week feature on this blog, I present the first edition of “fun Fridays”. A pot pourri of off-topic odds and ends.

1. Signs the human race is too stupid to live, courtesy of James Bow.

2. I’ve really been digging the freakonomics blog of late. Some interesting posts include a study on a placebo price effect and an interesting spin on helping people quit smoking.

3. The final season of BSG starts April 4th.

4. Must be spring – the Leafs are out.
