Apparently in Barcelona, the first floor (which in this building is actually the American second floor) is “Entresol,” followed by “Primera” (for the “main floor”), followed by floors 1 through 4. Makes perfect sense!

Started watching Borgen where the Danish PM gets ousted over using his official credit card to buy his wife a $12K handbag. I immediately start wondering when they are going to explain how they got into the parallel universe where expense report fraud is impeachable… wormhole? Cursed artifact?

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

Enron Is Back. Could This Possibly Be Real?
One of the pranksters behind “Birds Aren’t Real” is back to revive a company synonymous with corporate malfeasance — it has merch and what it’s claiming is an at-home nuclear reactor.
