Every day Stubby the Rocket jets around the internet looking for links of interest. When Stubby finds these links, they get put in our handy Links of Interest section and sometimes on our Twitter and Facebook! Sometimes Stubby creates an extra section in Morning Roundup for the stuff Stubby knows you crave. Here’s today’s selection:
- So how’s the market for drawings of Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug and Sherlock at the same time? Booming, apparently.
- 10 genes named for SFF characters or icons. Do you have one of them?
