Web Round-Up
Instructive Video for those of you in a relationship.
Graz has a blog about her new life in Scotland! (and she says I inspired her, shucks.)
Janet added a posting last weekend. She's working 3 jobs in 3 different Chilean towns. If you'd like to throw in your unsolicited advice, I created a poll in her comment thread.
Finally because it's clear that cute little animals are more popular with you people than my brilliant inventions and observations, here's Dennis the Overthinking Beaver.

That photo looked more like a marmot to me - big eyes, head not flat enough, not enough space between the nose and the mouth. So I looked up beaver at Wikipedia to see if there was a photo and found this outrageous sentence.
"The American Beaver (C. canadensis) is the national animal of Canada."
The American beaver indeed. Why did they call it Castor Canadensis if it was not Canadian? I feel I should write in to amend this egregious error.
I tried finding a good photo of a real beaver, face-on but I used the Latin and Googled “c. canadensis” instead and only got blurry photos - you’d think it was a sasquatch. Anyway, I still think the Onion guy looks like a marmot.
I believe you're right; I have known several beavers personally, and this guy ain't one...
Julia and Coyote, I encourage you both to take steps to correct the errors in Wikipedia and the Onion. (I'm on holiday.)
For reliable beaver information, you might go to the Canadian Wildlife Service PSA or to their fact sheet.
That relationship video was awesome :) And congrats on finishing on finishing up!!

Thank you, Kate and Troy, for the congratulations.
Kate, three new blogs today inspired by me? There's Graz's blog, and Sonja's blog, but what's the third one?
