		<description><![CDATA[The interwebs are an ever-changing culture, and the blooming trends of today will have withered by next week. Nevertheless, the recent fad of Photoshopping &#8220;flower crowns&#8221; on popular figures from TV, film and other media has caught my eye. It&#8217;s a consciously ironic way of claiming ownership of a cultural icon, expressing devotion while showing [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mythos means &#8220;a thing told,&#8221; an utterance, a story. Mythology is the art of passing down culture, lessons, ideas through stories which pluck at our souls, our dreams, our emotions, not just our rational minds. Bards are the purveyors of mythology in many societies. A bard is more than a storyteller, although a bard works [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mother sent me a link to a fascinating Scientific American article about zoologist Emily Baird&#8217;s research on dung beetles. Egyptologists give these poo-pushing champions the more dignified name of &#8220;scarab,&#8221; after an ancient Greek word for beetle. Dr. Baird&#8217;s specialty is insect vision, flight and navigation (see her profile at Lund University). She wrote her thesis [&#8230;]]]></description>

The article flails for causes: &#8220;The holiday spike may reflect this year’s partial lifting of economic gloominess.&#8221; If that&#8217;s true, why was there one [&#8230;]]]></description>

I learned about Nevada&#8217;s Shoe Tree on the &#8220;Loneliest Road in the World&#8221; from a touching article in the Los Angeles Times.

Zeus, ruler of the Greek pantheon, had a rough upbringing. His father Cronos knew that a son was destined to depose him, just as he had deposed (and castrated!) his father Ouranos. Cronos, [&#8230;]]]></description>
