After rewatching Home Alone, I couldn’t stop wondering: how plausible is the oversleep that leaves Kevin behind? So I wrote a tiny paper and ran the numbers. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Hey @bookingcom , I booked four of us on this flight (XZ2340), which - and so clearly - you had as leaving at 6:30pm. Imagine our surprise to discover it left instead at 16:30… Any explanation for the blunder?

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Deeply saddened by the news of Arthur Pomeroy’s death. He was the cornerstone of the Victoria University Classics Department for many years, an excellent teacher, and a warm, avuncular figure. He will be sorely missed.

Now that I’m a tenured professor everyone labels me as a foe. The Right says I’m a socialist state bureaucrat, warping young minds. And the Left says I’m a hyper-privileged oppressor wielding institutional power over helpless grad students. In reality, I am a humble scholar.
