For a good look at a lot of comic styles and links to comics around the world, check out the Webcomic Awards. It is also a hysterical read.
Also, here's an interesting article about a study done on music and personality characteristics. For the record, I liked two out of the listed songs: Beethoven - Ode to Joy: Active imagination, values aesthetic experiences, inventive, tolerant of others, consider themselves to be intelligent, and reject conservative ideals. Least likely to say something without thinking first; REM: It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine): Not neurotic, curious about different things. Enjoy taking risks, physically active and intelligent. May be prone to depression.

Faith in the Game. Disenchanted had an interesting article trying to reconcile Faith and Science, a sort of eternal sibling rivalry that descends into the silly every generation or so. It's most common current incarnation seems to be those fish everyone keeps sticking to their cards. There's the "Christ" fish (an old symbol), then the "Darwin" fish (a fish with legs), then the "Truth" fish eating the "Darwin" fish (an oldie but goodie), and off to the side (and mostly ignoring the argument) is the "Viking" fish that I want to own. I love the comparison of science to a game of Othello, especially the part about falling in the water if a tile before you or the tile your on gets broken (just read the article; it'll make more sense). Someone needs to pass this metaphor on to the science teachers; it could make a fun game.
Hey,shingan, it's "idiots" not "innocence." Aren't you glad to know that? (Why yes, I am obsessed. Why do you ask?)
in the land of twilight, under the moon
in the land of twilight, under the moon
we dance for the idiots
ring-around-the-roses, jump to the moon
we sing with the castanets
I will sing for crescent moon
dancing with the castanets
as the end will come so soon
in the land of twilight
now you are watchin' us outside the circle
wanna be in the company
boy, but you are lonely
dance with nobody
run away child, to your hiding place
high and loud, the sound of your bell of the twilight...ringing..
all alone, it rings and echoes in the twilight
in the land of twilight, under the moon
we dance for the idiots
ring-around-the-roses, jump to the moon
we sing with the castanets
