If you can’t find something of interest in this lot, I give up…

- UK team proposes alternative site for mythical Ithica. Don’t say that aloud while eating.

- LSD helps alcoholics put down the bottle. Probably because the bottle looked like a fearsome dragon’s head, licking its eyeballs and reciting Coleridge backwards.

- I guess the the Starship Troopers giant bug scenario is out then, with an oxygen-rich atmosphere apparently a rare thing.

- The strange story of the 19th century clergyman who created the magickal-robotic machine, “The New Messiah“. Our good pals at Anomalist Books published the book which discusses the story (and many others), The President’s Vampire.
- Can you boast that lightning shoots out of your backside?
