This is an incredible deal: buy a first edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and get Douglas Adams’s typewriter along with it. According to the seller, it is “as certain as can be that Adams wrote his most famous work ‘The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy’ on this Hermes Standard 8″. And [...]
At least part of the fascination of cave paintings is the fact that, even though they may be anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 years old, they were painted by people who were just like us. They were the same species, homo sapiens, so it’s entirely possible that, if we could travel back in time, or [...]
Every once in a while I’ll hear someone refer to a collection of things as a “bevy”. Earlier this week a co-worker mentioned that she had a “bevy of flowers” in her yard. Bevy is one of those words I’ve heard and used, I thought, with a pretty clear idea of what it meant, but [...]

It doesn’t have to be realistic, it doesn’t [...]
I’ve often heard people describe themselves as an avid fan or heard them say they have an avid interest in something without thinking too much about the word avid itself, even though it seems like a strange, interesting little word. When a friend suggested over a game of Scrabble that avid should be a Word [...]
On July 2nd, 1789, a man in the Bastille leaned out his window and yelled to passersby that the prisoners were being murdered and that the people should rise up and charge the building. Twelve days later the people did exactly that, destroying the infamous prison and starting the French Revolution. The prisoner who yelled [...] |
