Greece is full of wonderful new things and wonderful old things. But when WE become old things, will our ruins also be tourist attractions?

Margaret Taylor's husband Zachary was the last president of the USA who was not a member of the Republican or Democratic party. He was a Whig. The circumstances of his death are mysterious -- perhaps it was an assassin? But the circumstances of his wife's THIRD death are even more interesting.....

Xu Bing's "Book from the Ground: from point to point" is written entirely with pictograms. This copy is actually my wife's book -- she owned it before we met. When I first saw it, I was amazed by how easy it was to read and by how much your imagination had to get involved! I wonder how different the story is to different minds... In researching the book, I learned about Xu Bing's other art works, including "Book From The Sky." I also reccomend looking up "Introduction to Square-Word Calligraphy" and "Dragonfly Eyes."
the first trick is probably at least 100 years old. the earliest known published reference to it can be found in "Modern Mechanics and Inventions" (1929). The cube variation is my own invention.
At least 5 are now known to exist! I posted scans of both sides to r/neutralmilkhotel

I had to say "cabbage" at the end because I'd miscounted the number of e's used in the video. There were only 123. But if I re-recorded and said "one hundred twenty three" there'd then be 125 e's. But if I said "one hundred twenty five," there'd be 124. But if i said "one hundred twenty four" it'd be back to 123. So I decided to just add "cabbage" at the end
I'd always wanted to experiment with food-safe liquid thickeners. I'd seen people use them with water, milk, coffee, even wine. I had a bunch of imitation urine sitting around (from our MEL medical kits) and although it was fun to take BeReal photos with the bottles, I knew that thickening their contents was their real destiny.
