I don’t really need to say much more than “Dave Barry, year-end review”, do I?
The economic news is also gloomy for the U.S. automotive industry, where General Motors, in a legally questionable move aimed at boosting its sagging car sales, comes out with a new model called “The Chevrolet Toyota.”
Also, the Boston Globe’s Big Picture feature put together a spectacular year-end review in three parts: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
First, Bad Astronomy posts the top ten astronomy pictures of the year, including photographs of gamma-ray bursts, a video of the moon transiting the Earth, and a landslide on freakin’ Mars.
Second, Seed Magazine presents a portfolio of some of the best science photography out there. It’s flash-based, which is tragic for many reasons, but the imagery is spectacular. Check it out.
It’s always good to start the week by bringing the funny.
