Bits and Pieces

Sometimes headlines are just too stupid not to enjoy:

"European Union foreign ministers condemn the use of forged passports in the assassination of a top Palestinian militant."

Hey guys, way not cool that you used our passports there, but good job on killing a guy, well done.

Fun fact, there are, according to the autobiographies in circulation, at least three 'last men who knew everything'. Athanasius Kircher, Thomas Young, and Joseph Leidy. There may be more, but I can cay with certainty that there hasn't been any men who know everything in quite some time, and until the internet explodes and we are thrust back into an informational dark age we won't be having one again.

This video of a 1940s printing press is sexy as hell.
