I've been out for a few days. Luckily Scott posted the results of the Bobs, which I was following mostly because the entries were pretty international and especially because there were (as he mentions) lots of entries written in languages other than English.
Among the winners I was most taken by El Hombre Que Comía Diccionarios, both because of the title and because I can read it. As far as I can tell, it's basically a collection of well-chosen quotes. Here's the Bobs' description of the site; sounds like everyone else is probably already reading EHQCD. Since my Spanish is rusty at best I'm still puzzling my way through much of the page, but sometimes I don't need to worry about Spanish, as with this gem that we all learn in first-year German:
