I've been following it at Cute Overload, but I'm sure there's a more direct link somewhere else.

Hivemind: is there a standard conversion of words to minutes when you're writing a speech? I need to write a 15-minute talk (that will not actually be delivered), and have no idea what ballpark to be thinking about in terms of word or page count.

I think the rule of thumb is two minutes a double-spaced page.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Two of those puppies are totally making out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I've never seen a picture of an epidexipteryx before.

PZ sez:

And here's what it would have looked like in life (only the colors are imaginary). It would have been about the size of a pigeon — I think a pack of these scurrying about New York's Times Square would be both scenic and would quickly clean up the pigeon problem there.

I totally want one....

I think the rule of thumb is two minutes a double-spaced page.

That sounds about right. I think I usually tried to make my 20-minute conference talks between 10-12 pages.

Note: Double-spaced, with real margins (i.e., 1 inch, and not Word's new default of 1.25).
