Let’s talk about Viennese fast food culture, because why not you know? Teleportation is coming closer and closer to reality. Coffee is good for you again I guess. And now a brief history of terrible US Government design. What will…

BBC asks the important question: why do Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes? oh hello lost underwater Egyptian city. The Milky Way’s spirals are pretty interesting! The future is regenerative energy. Now let’s talk about tiny Welsh towns with oh…

People sure do seem to love American dialect maps these days. The bottom of the ocean is filthy! I think we can all agree that we need more human anatomy/art pinball. We are living in an age where we can…
