This educational moment of the day brought to you by the Sarcastic Fringehead
The Sarcastic Fringehead has got to be one of the strangest and most entertaining fishes I have seen in a long time; they look like short, big-mouthed eels and live in abandoned turban snail shells. The fish are very territorial and try to scare off rivals by out-fabulousing each other, waving their neck-fringe around to get the best shell. So next time you need a weird fact to break the ice at a party, or you just want to sound smart - remember the Sarcastic Fringehead.

I'm not a Benghazi conspiracy theorist but I am going to read the newly released documents
I'm not saying there's more of a scandal to find in the newly released emails and notes on Benghazi, but I think it's important to read and form your own opinion.

Free wisdom scattered around downtown Seattle
![]() |
| An anonymous do-gooder is trying to inspire chilly Seattleites with signs posted around town. |
Someone is spreading some free wisdom around Seattle, piggybacking on No Parking sandwich boards on Westlake Avenue and in the Denny Triangle.
I first noticed the signs, made from big pieces of plain cardboard, in midwinter and started seeing them pop up near construction sites and intersections with city signboards. The author changes them out when they wear out or get moved, but throughout the city the messages are much the same: forgive; do good; be kind; be happy.
I tried to find out who was responsible by asking around and leaving my card on the signs, but they remain anonymous. I guess I'll just have to wonder and smile every time I see these signs.
