With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

if you haven't learned a fun fact today you can borrow the one i learned: seymour cray, designer of cray supercomputers, attributed his success and groundbreaking ideas to "the elves (who) will often come to me with solutions to my problem" while digging in the tunnel he made under his house

We've just been having a look through a sweetly presented digital version of the Jurassic Park novel for the Apple Mac released in 1991.
In the preface, Michael Crichton talks about how enthusiastic he is for the format and how it allows him to add sound effects and animations.

Worms is part of a genre of “artillery” computer games that we thought went back to the 70s, until we discovered it actually went back to the 60s. In this thread, Kevin Bunch reveals he’s unearthed long forgotten footage of the lost game that started it all.

people are often surprised by how low-tech the global sin monitoring system looks, but that’s because like a critical infrastructure system it prioritizes reliability with durable proven technologies above all else.

Yes, but who can forget the image of a post-presidency Grover Cleveland using the Statue of Liberty as his personal vehicle, piloting it from inside the crown like a mecha
Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.
Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

In Mario Party 9, Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi all have the same skeleton structure (identical bones merely arranged at different distances), which means they are able to load each other's animations. Of course, as this was never intended, they appear severely deformed.
