Research shows that running liquid chocolate through a magnetic field can reduce its fat content by up to 20%. The electric field re-shuffles the structure of the cocoa, making it easier to pour - a job that is normally achieved by adding more fat.

I've long been waiting for this #map! Who dubs TV shows and movies? Who uses subtitles? I claim the fact that Scandinavians and Dutch consume US entertainment in English is the reason they tend to have such a great command of the language. Source: buff.ly/2LvYMZo

Definitely an entertaining book. But also a good example of just how impossible it is to see the large changes in history if one does not bother to study data. If a big historian cannot do it, chances are that we all fail at it. So let’s take historical data seriously.
