You Are Not So Smart: A blog of articles about how our minds (don't) work. Quite a few people I know need to read this.

How do they get to be that way?: A n article by Roger Ebert about racism as it's exemplified in people's reactions to a mural on a school in Arizona.

Loved the article about smiling. I am (as you doubtless know) absolutely terrible at social smiling. It causes me a lot of difficulty. Especially when I try to make jokes :-P

"For example, a study in 2005 at Minot State University revealed women are more likely than men to smile in most social situations. They postulate this is because testosterone alters the brain and inhibits showing off the pearly whites."

So that's it! PCO, you did it to me again.
