• Andrew Barton at Acts of Minor Treason offers up a recipe for a seaweed sandwich.


• The Everyday Sociology Blog considers the issue of gender in the context of the travails of the Girl Scouts of America. What does the organization stand for? What will it become?


• Itching in Eestimaa considers language use in Estonia, the way in which it's been politicized by the Soviet era and the ways in which Estonian is no longer under such threat as it used to be.


• Was the Roman Empire more equal, economically at least, than the United States nowadays? Marginal Revolution raises the question and points to an unsettling answer.


• At The Power and the Money, Noel Maurer describes Honduran plans to jumpstart that country's economy by creating a self-governing city under near-total foreign control, with the goal of replicating Hong Kong's success in Central America.


• Slap Upside the Head points to the first explicitly GLBT-themed film. Made in 1918.
