Re: Random, Random 2.0
Always fascinating (and somewhat depressing) to see the world as it is through pictures, especially places you normally hear nothing about. For instance, I had no idea there were even slums on Mayotte and if you'd asked me to point out Mayotte on a map, I'd have probably chosen the wrong area altogether, nevermind the actual correct island.
My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
I only learned about it recently because I play a silly game called FLAGGLE and its flag came up. But indeed, I would have never been able to find it in a map.
It is a big world.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
Demon Haunted World is still as relevant as when it came out. I actually re-read recently, and its clarity of exposition and lucid explanations remain as vivid as when it came out.
Together with "The Ascent of Man", I would make it mandatory reading.
But you know me.

Most people seem to be on the side of the orcas and sharks and are lobbying for the giant squid to join in.

Re: Random, Random 2.0
I found out, via XKCD, that the latest sunset of the year is not on the summer solstice.
A little explanation is here:
