Thinking Blogger Awards

The Translator at Rosetta Rants should be blamed for nominating me for a Thinking Blogger Award. As I use to read blogs in either English or Spanish, I'm continuing the blog meme in a bilingual fashion (a Spanish version of this post can be found here).

These are five blogs (among others) that make me think:

1. Small Things Considered, by Moselio (Elio) Schaechter. The Microbe Blog.
2. Xkcd, by Randall Munroe. A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
3. El PaleoFreak [in Spanish], by El PaleoFreak (he didn't have a childhood but a prehistory). Comments on evolution.
4. MalaCiencia [in Spanish], by Alfonso de Terán Riva. Pieces of science nonsense found in news, films or common knowledge.
5. Malatraducción [in Spanish/English], by Laertes. On Spanish translations of (mostly) books, films and comics.
   

Congratulations, you won a Thinking Blogger Award!

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.
2. Link to this post and the original post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
