POPSHolding Hands Two sea otters in the Vancouver Aquarium float around holing paws. At one point they drift apart, and one of them reaches out to clamp again. Is that cute or what?

POPSTrue story in a San Francisco bus It starts: "About 18 years ago I was riding the 30 Stockton bus heading downtown, standing room only (as usual). I am tall, so I could see over the largely (probably 95%) asian population inside the bus, who all seemed to be hacking their lungs out without covering their mouths (nice). So we stop at Sacramento Street (just before the tunnel), and a whole group of people want to push on to the bus. Everybody at the stop manages to squeeze in when there is a bit of a commotion at the front."

POPS2007 Best Photographs The very first of these pictures was taken in my homeland of Caracas, Venezuela, after a march against violence. A group of gunmen, supporters of the government attacked the students of the largest university in the country. This picture shows a group of those students trying to lock these gunmen in a building while the police arrives. They succeeded. (WARNING: SOME OF THESE PICTURES ARE A LITTLE GRAPHIC.)

POPSCan Obama build a movement? This is the next-to-last paragraph in Michael Gerson's <i>Washington Post</i> of January 9th. These lines struck me very powerfully. As an almost complete outsider, I truly hope Barack Obama is the next American President.

POPSDiscussing the Divine Comedy with Dante You've probably seen this painting on the Web before. But this is the first time I've seen it with its full name. Plus, this website has links to every charcter that shows to his or her biography on Wikipedia. Brilliant idea.

POPS"Quuntamo", by Apocalyptica If you're into rock, you've heard of these guys. If not, I seriously recommend them. They jumped to fame playing Metallica on cellos, but now they also play their own stuff. Who know a string quartet could rock so hard?

POPSI'm Speechless The original title was, as you can imagine, "Woman Driver". But beyond the sexist humor, Jesus Christ, how in the hell did this happen???
