Quickies
Skepchick Quickies, 4.16
- Intelligence and other stereotypes: the power of mindset.
- Interview with Sanal Edamaruku on the recent blasphemy harges against him in Mumbai, India for exposing a fake “miracle” claim of the Catholic Church. (From Josh.)
- Everything you never thought you needed to know about giant pandas’ tricky sex lives.
- Five Titanic myths spread by films.
- A couple of Kickstarters worth backing: Bill Corbett and Len Peralta’s SUPER-POWERED REVENGE CHRISTMAS! and Wollstonecraft, a pro-math, pro-science, pro-history and pro-literature adventure novel for and about girls.
I love the illustration chosen to represent the Wollstonecraft book. Very tempted to kick in on the Kickstarter campaign.
Loved the titantic myth article. My mom loves history and accuracy in movies. Egro she hated the titantic movie from the 90's.
Oddly, her biggest complaint was that the water was the wrong color. It really offended her and to this day she'll rail about it looking like the gulf stream.
