Blog round-up (Man Day? edition)

So today, June 15th, marks National Man Day, or at least that is the hope of two brothers who managed to get National Man Day in Chase’s Calendar of Events. My favorite activity that they suggest one does on National Man Day is, “punch a gorilla in the face.” I thank facebook for bringing this day to my attention, and I also thank the internet for bringing me these gems this past week or so:
