Chipping the webSightings: “The 47 Society is dedicated to exploring the phenomenon that is 47.”

Doug Karr on a little-known but very useful Firefox feature: keymarks .

Everything you ever wanted to know about CSS, but were afraid to ask (thanks, Assaf ).

TDavid on writing good content. Writing may be one of the 3 R’s, but it’s all about the 5 W’s.

Some bizarre ancient artifacts that make you question everything we “know”. I have to wonder if some of these aren’t being a bit hyped, but they do make you wonder. (via Mercola)

Ruby Brazil features my Rats on Rails. Obrigado!

Or four W’s and one H, anyway ;) Thanks for the mention.

That link to About.com is pretty cool. Some of that stuff I didn’t know about, the others I’ve read about. All in all, it does make you wonder if our current method of dating objects is wildly inaccurate.

[...] This one comes from Sterling Camden and deals with very strange artifacts. Personally I think our method of dating objects is wildly inaccurate. [...]

@TDavid: Hey, if they can lump “writing” in with the R’s, I can put “how” in with the W’s. It has one at the end.

@Joseph: The other possible explanations they give were also pretty intriguing: that people have been around a lot longer than we think, or that other civilizations existed long ago.

Another possible explanation for the dinosaur paintings which could also apply to some dragon myths: maybe ancient people found fossils of dinosaurs, and constructed myths to explain them.
