dangerousmeta!, the original new mexican miscellany, offering eclectic linkage since 1999.

Mashable: Rare color photos of 1928 England, full of soul and spunk.

I fall in like that pit is bottomless.

From the same source on the Invisible Plague:
Why “Spanish”? To read the newspapers of 1918, Spain was hit particularly hard by the virus. On the contrary: 1918 was the last year of World War I and, in an attempt to maintain morale, the United States, Britain, France and Germany suppressed newspaper reports of the illness. Neutral Spain, with no war morale to maintain, did not censor its newspapers; so, to the rest of the world, the flu appeared particularly nasty there.
