This 'n that

I'm still in a Latin mood due to Lost, so, found via [livejournal.com profile] sionnain (I think):

The Aeneid on Facebook! [livejournal.com profile] artaxastra, you don't want to miss that.

History:

[livejournal.com profile] swatkat24 talks about Gandhi, who was killed today 61 years ago. Her post points out the two extremes of Gandhi reception - worshipful pedestal and complete mocking dismissal - both keep people from thinking and engaging with what Gandhi actually did and had to say.

Battlestar Galactica:
