A few great comments that caught my eye this week:

• /u/reedstilt on Were there any inventions or tools Europeans have adopted from Native Americans?

• /u/idjet on Why were some popular religious movements in the High Middle Ages labelled as 'heretical', whilst others went on to become large new religious orders?

Finally, the post on Why does it seem like early American civilizations' (Maya, Olmec, Aztec) art/architecture is much less developed or much less impressive than that of early Europe and Asia? had good comments throughout, but this digression into Maya art and hallucinogen-influences was quite nice.

Can I say how thrilled I was to have /u/XenophonOfAthens (not to be confused with our very own /u/xenophontheathenian) apply for flair in "Tintinology," which I have to say is the most specific flair request I've ever seen. We will award flair for expertise in any aspect of the past, and an impressive knowledge of the works of Herge is as welcome as anything. Unfortunately, /u/XenophonOfAthens hasn't made enough contributions in his area of expertise to qualify for flair just yet, but I do wish them the best of luck and hope they can come back with some more examples of his work shortly. Of course, if anyone would like to help them out by posting that one Tintin question that's been nagging them for ages ...

I'm biased since it was my question, but I enjoyed /u/centersolace's responses on Soviet animation. Check out some of the linked videos, they're quite interesting, particularly Polygon.

Last Sunday was a good day for /u/centersolace, as there was coincidentally a question on Japanese animation in addition to my Soviet animation question. More good info supplied there, so thank you, /u/centersolace, for sharing your knowledge of animation!
