Stephen Jay Gould - take one a day Browsing around trying to find a list of Stephen Jay Gould's books, I found a site with a useful set of links, including a (not fully up-to-date) list of Gould's Natural History essays listed by book. Looking down at our bookshelf, I realized we have the first eight books in the series. If I read one essay a day, I could keep myself busy until next January.  (There are 242 essays in the first 8 books, an average of a about 30 per book.) Some years ago I borrowed several Books on Tape versions of Gould's essays from the library.  They were wonderful. 10:50:16 PM      comment []

How many balloons would it take to lift a person? My middle son has asked this question before: how many helium balloons would it take to life a person?   How Stuff Works has the answer. 8:37:50 PM      comment []
