Let the triskaidekaphobes and Samhainophobes run in fear, it's time for the (un)lucky 13th edition of the Carnival of the Infosciences, just in time for Halloween. No tricks, just treats galore to Rochelle for a great job hosting this week.

I seem to have totally spaced out and forgotten to pursue hosts for the upcoming weeks. Next week is covered as the Carnival will be moving to the excellent Information Community News weblog. Send those submissions to jilloneill (at) nfais dot org.

After that, I'm wide open. Am I going to have to grovel to my previous hosts (always welcome and encouraged to host again of course!) or will some newcomers step up to the mic?
