Friday Linkdump wants to be more like David Bowie

I like David Bowie. I like his music, I like his visual presence, I like watching Labyrinth from time to time, even though it earworms me terribly for about a week after.

So really, it only follows that I should enjoy this slideshow of David Bowie doing unlikely things, wearing odd costumes, etc. I've seen several of them before, but random collections of Bowie on the tides of the Internet is always a pleasant encounter.

Just be warned if you're thinking of clicking that link at work. Sometimes, David Bowie urinates into toasters. If you were David Bowie, you'd know that's just part of the job.

And now, links:

- Why fiction is good for you
Does reading fiction boost empathy and improve our ability to read other people's moods? It's possible, according to researchers. Awkwardly, it may also convince us that the world is just when it isn't. Awkward.

- Amber Waves of Green
A very GQ look at income inequality in the United States. Interesting stuff, though I do think it fails in terms of really nailing what proportion of US residents fall into each income category. That's at least as significant as the disparity between our richest and poorest.

- Fossil poo suggests possible pre-Clovis culture inhabitants in the Americas.
I confess, half the reason I link to this is the fact that The Register actually used the words "fossil poo." The other half is that technology and archaeology are awesome.
