Here's an infographic about the Harry Potter movies, though despite all the talk about huge box office grosses, I swear I read somewhere that the films didn't actually make any money. However, I can't find that article so we'll have to pretend I never said that, which is nice because I remember thinking how ridiculous that was. [Graphjam]

This is a looooong but worthy read about the man who was wrongly accused of carrying out the post-9/11 anthrax attacks. It's so sad that what happened to him is even possible. [The Atlantic]

This might only be of interest to you if you're Mormon, but what if our meetings progressed in a different order? I vaguely remember having Sacrament Meeting last when I was a kid. My favorite part of that post, however, was the comments. Comment 23 was a total facepalm, and then comment 34 made me burst out laughing. I love it when intelligent people disagree in a humorous manner (that happens a lot at By Common Consent, by the way). [By Common Consent]
