Axolotls are cute. In the spirit of English collective terms for birds & animals like "the parliament of owls" or "the pride of lions", axolotls totally deserve "the cuteness of axolotls".

Geek Test.

A while ago, I found a collection of poems read by their (mostly dead, mostly white) authors.
"In Memory of W.B. Yeats" as read by W.H. Auden himself is stunning.

Ah, I think I've seen the geek test before - very fascinating. In short, "if you've ever been really interested by something that isn't sports, you're a geek" (and maybe even sports, I'm not sure)

I suspect that any strong interest is not, strictly speaking, kosher, sports included.

(My friends & I had fun discussing what "reading Russian lit for fun" should be substituted with in post-Soviet countries: "reading Sophocles for fun"? "reading French symbolists for fun"?)

I guess both Sophocles and French symbolists would do...
