Taking Annual Leave the week of World Book Day turned out to be a shrewd move.

Actually have time to work on The Boy's costume.

I did not have the energy for a 5k run this morning.

Fortunately, half of Ashton Court #parkrun is downhill

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

ME: I knew Pagliacci was a stage name, but the joke didn't work unless I pretended it was his real name.

CHOTINER: So you misrepresented the doctor.

M: Well, I didn't know it would be popular. It was just for our followers.

C: Right. It's okay to lie when it's only close friends.

M: Hold on

Could not wear it with a straight face.

40 years after Challenger: Lingering guilt and lessons learned The space shuttle Challenger lifts off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 28, 1986, in a cloud of smoke with a crew of seven aboard. The shuttle exploded shortly after this photo. Thom Baur/AP

Forty years after the Challenger disaster, engineers who fought to stop the launch still grapple with the guilt of "what if." The tragedy remains a definitive lesson in the danger of prioritizing management goals over engineering truths and the fatal cost of silencing dissenting voices.

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do.

ME: How are you supposed to do it?

MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck.

BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.
