A Touch of History
This will mostly contain history stuff.
* Preliminary reports from a dig in Iceland are suggesting that monks from the islands around Scotland may have had a settlement on Iceland before the vikings got there. I'm going to wait for the official reports in peer reviewed journals before getting excited, but it would be interesting if it turns out to me true.

* Historical importance of frankincense and myrrh: http://www.silive.com/homegarden/garden/index.ssf/2010/12/gifts_of_the_magi_were_highly.html

I don't actually like frankincense. myrrh can be lovely in the right blend, but is not my favorite resin.

* "London: Tuberculosis Cases Have Increased 50 Percent in Last Decade, Lancet Says:" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/21/health/21global.html
