Are you curious?

Curious about art? About science? Nature? Places and people? About all sorts of things?  Then you'll want to take a daily look at Kuriositas, the website of R.J. Evans who "write[s] about the stuff [he] think[s] is worth pointing out to others and saying hey, look at that." Some of the many things he's pointed out in the brief time since I discovered the site are:

A Magical Mermaid Miscellany (mermaid statues from around the world),

 

 The Remarkable Giraffe Weevil of Madagascar, 

 and The Story of Symbols (that's the asterisk).

Some are amusing, some are serious, some are thought-provoking; all are informative in one way or another. I only regret that I have so recently come upon it, but the upside of that is the two and a half years of archives awaiting any moment when I might feel a hint of boredom coming on.
