This deck of cards has a bar code printed on the edge of each card. Scanning these bar codes would reveal where every card is (or isn't - if cards are missing.)

I recently learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head.

It’s December 4th, 2016, and American chess Grandmaster Timur Gareyev is dozens of moves into a game against his human opponents.

Tea in WW2 largely fell under the responsibility of Lord Woolton, as Minister for Food. As did all rationing.
This was back when governments thought that hiring experts to run things in a crisis. Not the landlord of their favourite pub.
