Monday Science Links

This week's yummy science goodness:

• Chris at Northstate Science follows up his teeth post with a look at the process used to rebut a counter-claim. Process. That's science.


• A news release from UMd gives us a cool theory on why black holes stay in galaxies by Maryland astronomers Tamara Bogdanovic and Christopher Reynolds (thanks, Steinn at Dynamics of Cats)


• Linguistic Mystic looks at lolcats dialect used in programming (srsly) As he says, "Although it may seem silly to some, this is really some top-of-the-line linguistic work."


• Tim over at remote central takes a look at evidence from ancient graves about sacrificial rituals in hunter-gatherer Europe.


• And Darren over at Tetrapod Zoology wraps up a series on multiple new species of large, living mammals (the whole series can be reached from here) - Marc van Roosmalen's new Amazonian mammal discoveries (new monkeys, tapirs, deer, manatees, even big cats!).
