This week's “Moovers and Shakers” run the gamut from the strange to the historical. Enjoy!
Stranger Than Usual–Are you interested in some elements of sculptural crochet? Want to see some “specimens of uncertain anatomy.” Then you need to visit biophemera where this month's “Carnival: Cabinet of Curiosities: Edition #6” is posted. The next edition will be posted back at Walking the Berkshires on May 19th.
Bombs Away!–The Omnipotent Poobah presents a superb article on his memories of a Berlin airport facing the wrecking ball in “Of History, Candy, and the Wrecking Ball.”
Click, Click, Click–Can intuition help you with your genealogy research? It did for Lee Drew at Famhist in “Town History Books.”

Blarney Spoken Here–The 5th edition of the Carnival of Irish Heritage is now posted at “A light that shines again.” This is a wonderful introduction to the Irish language.
Death Notice–Larry at Passing It On writes “Your life deserves more than six words,” about writing an obituary. Since I've had to do this twice in the past two years for family members, it is an important consideration.

Spin the Bottle–Not exactly, but Jewelgirl at “Searching For Family Branches” presents the “Mystery of the Foubare Bottles.”
Unplugged and Unleashed–Terry Snyder of The News-Messenger in Freemont Ohio has a new blog called “Desktop Genealogist Unplugged.” her grandmother never let the facts stand in the way of a good family story, and Terry has followed in her footsteps!
