Those who view freshly-washed clothes as standard apparel might be interested in browsing through a book of Dorothea Lange photographs from the 1930s and 1940s.
One of our cats fractured the tray of our DVD player. What I found interesting was that the cat would "zone in" on the equipment even when it wasn't moving and could anticipate the opening of the tray. I suspect there must be some associated high-pitched sound that humans can't hear.
I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person in this country never to have seen a single episode of The Simpsons. (or South Park, or Family Guy, or American Idol, or Seinfeld, or...)
Perhaps I have something configured wrong in my computer, but one thing I have always found annoying in the Mental Floss (and some other) quizzes is that one apparently has to manually erase a wrong answer before trying again.
It would be much nicer if when you typed a wrong answer and hit "return" it would say "wrong" or just return to blank. Instead, I sometimes have to hit the delete key ten times before trying again.
As I read the article, it seems that they used the CODEword "pizza" to talk about meeting at a Pizza Hut, rather than using a PASSword "pizza" on any computer resources. Not brilliant, certainly, but a different level of stupidity.

"But flattr requires me to spend a minimum of €24 per annum to be able to embed a button on my website, so it's quite possible I end up making a loss off of it."

I'm just grumpy today. It was a good quiz.
Fixed. Thank you.
Humans do the same thing as they become teenagers.
