obligatory oldness post

I just got some CDs. Okay, that's old, but that's not what I'm here to talk about. I got them from cdconnection.com, and I realized I've been buying from them for something over 15 years. Since before the web; you used to telnet in to their site. (Wired article, speaking of oldness.)

I am sad to report that

$ telnet cdconnection.com
Trying 208.218.142.11...
telnet: connect to address 208.218.142.11: Connection refused

(If you still buy CDs, by the way, I recommend cdconnection. Never had any problem with them, and I don't see how other retailers get away with $14-$16 prices. They have eight-track tapes too.)

apparently all those textbook writers never actually ate a viceroy butterfly

And the fact that they taste fine has been false for more than half the time I've known it.

The viceroy butterfly is not a batesian mimic
...
Our experiment refutes this interpretation by revealing that viceroys are as unpalatable as monarchs, and significantly more unpalatable than queens from representative Florida populations.
