The late Peter Bastian was a polymath who excelled in multiple disciplines such as playing the clarinet and piano, theoretical physics, and writing, making him a true Renaissance man.
Here he is playing a plastic drinking straw as a woodwind instrument

Writing 'Jedi' as your religion in the #Census2021 may not have the outcome you're looking for. It's much more constructive to #TickNoReligion.
If you're not religious, say so! #TickNoReligion.

"I'm here live. I'm not a cat."
A lawyer logged into the 394th Judicial District with a cat filter on and couldn't turn it off.
This may be the funniest video I've seen this year.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.
Sound efficient?

Two years before Professor Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen, this gorgeous autochrome of the pyramids at Giza was taken by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont. Amazingly, it is original colour from 1920 (not colourised)

I hear that @OpenUniversity registrations are way up. Very wise: if you'll be learning online anyway, why not study at a university that's been working that way for 50 years and is *good* at scaling up for extra students?
Registration deadline 10 Sep! open.ac.uk/courses/
