Some stuff that has caught my eye lately:

*ms_hecubus went to the zoo! I found this report of hers deeply hilarious. Warning, it might not be safe for work, depending on how stringent your work is about animals fulfilling their biological imperatives. And pictures of thus.

*&y linked to this collection of ads speculating how modern technologies would've been advertised in 1977. Pretty stuff!

*As part of my regular discussion of everything in the entire world¹ with JoshZed, he mentioned that apparently Insane Clown Posse has declared war on science. Impressed by the concept that anyone could be so utterly stupid, I begged him to make a blog post. Highlights include the quote "We feel like these haters[scientists] are the big dumb, popular jocks ganging up on the little class clown scrub." I only laugh because if I think about it too hard, I'll start sobbing.

*Apparently the Vatican has endorsed The Blues Brothers as being a Catholic classic. I am not making this up.

*The first law of Rock-Em, Sock-Em Robotics: A robot may neither rock nor sock a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to be rocked or socked.

*And lastly, I've been following a parenting blog written by one of my math professors and her wife. They just had a rehaul, and have up an adorable new header. Go see! (And the best part is definitely that they do look more or less like those pictures, which is just so cute it makes me want to squee.)

MOOP!

1: We seriously do talk about nearly everything there ever was in the world. This is why I've started writing down what our dinnertime conversations were later, because they cover such a broad host of subjects (okay, fine, mostly math and world domination, but a *lot* of math and world domination!)

... as both a new parent and a Mathy person, I am disappointed that you do not link to the last one, despite telling me to go see!

Ack, curses! Go look at First Time, Second Time.

(It's not super mathy, but it's certainly parenty. They also do a blog called Car-free With Kids about living in a city without a car, which is also fairly parenty. I would so read a math blog buy them if they wrote such a beast.)

The link to the math professor's blog seems to be full of fail. Unlike the other links, my pointer won't switch to "here's a link - you can click on it" mode.

Your subject line is wrong. You posted it on Mundries (or early Tuesdries), not Sundries.
