Y’all seem to like these Lilbits roundups I’ve been posting for the last few days, so I’m going to try to make a habit of keeping them going at least a few times per week.
So without further ado, here are some stories from around the web that may be of interest to Liliputing readers.

As usual, if you’re following us on Twitter, Google+, or Facebook you may have already seen most of these stories. If not, there’s no time like the present to follow us and get all the news that’s fit to share via social media!
