I won't bother to type notices for all the carnivals we missed while we were waiting for NG to migrate, but how can we forget Carnival of the Godless #46 which was at love @nd rage yesterday. Also of note is the 4th edition of Synapse, one of two neuroscience carnivals out there.

Well, don't let anyone tell you there's nothing interesting in the blogosphere, because we've got proof right here that anyone who says that is full of it. So, in no particular order and I hope I haven't forgotten anyone, here's the notable blog carnivals for the past week.

Over at Brainshrub, Paul was proudly showing off his birthday suit in the 17th Carnival of the Liberals.

Tangled Bank has become a grand old science blog carnival, with #58 hosted by Martin at Salto Sobrius.

And there's a hot, hot, hot Carnival of Education#76 down in Texas at the Education in Texas blog.

If you think the Texas heat is for the birds, then you're wrong because they've all flown across the Atlantic to do I and the Bird #28 with Katie over at Bogbumper.

If you're looking for a bite to eat, then maybe the skeptics will give you a Scooby Snack if you ask nicely. For it's 39th meeting, the Skeptics' Circle has taken a field trip to Franken Castle (aka Mike's Weekly Skeptic Rant).

The brainy people are engaging in Pure Pedantry with Encephalon #2.

Finally, if you're feeling overwhelmed by all this great reading, then maybe you want to join everyone else Powering Down in Carnival of the Green #36.

Coming up Sunday we've got every infidel's delight, the Carnival of the Godless at Beware the Dogma and Synapse, the other neuroscience carnival at  The Neurophilosopher's Blog, who coincidentally runs Encephalon.

If you're planning on a lazy summer day by the pool or sitting out on the back porch, we've got some midsummer's reading to keep your brain happy while your body takes it easy. First up is an appropriately carnival themed 44th Carnival of the Godless over at Daylight Atheism. And what could keep your brain happier than reading about brains and all other things neuroscientifical. So check out the 2nd edition of Synapse hosted by coturnix at A Blog Around the Clock. Synapse being one of two of the new neuroscience carnivals, the other being Encephalon.

Michael Bains who readily counts himself among the Silly Humans is hosting the 43rd edition of Carnival of the Godless this time out and, true to form, Carnival of the Godless 43 doesn't disappoint.

Also, this Sunday we have a new neuroscience carnival, Synapse being held over at Pure Pedantry.
