But in November, some of Spaulding’s posts, both recent and older, long-forgotten ones, started disappearing from his site. There didn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. One moment they were there, the next they were gone. Confused, he started comparing notes with other music bloggers, and they noticed a trend. A lot of posts across the Web, on everything from Abba to Zappa, had vanished.

Zelie was vanavond een beetje beter, maar uiteindelijk is ze daarnet al wenend wakker geworden. Nu ligt ze in bed te rillen.
Louis heeft zich de hele dag min of meer goed gehouden, alleen vanavond was het wat minder. Hij ligt in bed. Te rillen.
Jan is welgezind van school naar huis gekomen, min of meer welgezind naar bed gegaan, maar nu ligt hij te schudden van het wenen in zijn bed. Zijn been doet pijn.
Anna is guitig thuisgekomen en guitig naar bed gegaan. Ze heeft mij één keer wakker gemaakt, omdat er een eendje in haar poppenhuis moest. Voor de rest geen klachten.
Eén op vier. Zucht.
update Ondertussen is Jan brandend van koorts naar beneden gestommeld. Ik heb hem met een dosis Nurofen terug naar bed gebracht. Urgh.

1 – SuperdollarA superdollar or supernote is an almost perfect counterfeit of a United States banknote, believed to have been made by an unknown organization or government. The identity of the group responsible remains a mystery, and international opinion on the origin of the notes varies; at one point, the government of the United States claimed to have proof that they were produced in North Korea, but it has since ceased publicly advancing or commenting on this accusation, while many in the intelligence community blame Iran or criminal gangs operating out of China or Russia; some have even suggested the possibility of CIA involvement.

Het eerste dat ik daarbij dan denk is "hoera voor Terry Pratchett": Injections of a natural growth factor into the brains of mice, rats and monkeys offers hope of preventing or reversing the earliest impacts of Alzheimer's disease on memory. The benefits arose even in animals whose brains contained the hallmark plaques that clog up the brains of patients.

The Bibliotheca or Myriobiblon was a 9th century work of Byzantine Patriarch Photius, dedicated to his brother and composed of 279 reviews of books which he had read. It was not meant to be used as a reference work, but was widely used as such in the 9th century, and is generally seen as the first Byzantine work that could be called an Encyclopedia. The works he notes are mainly Christian and pagan authors from the 5th century BC to his own time in the 9th century AD. Almost half the books mentioned no longer survive.

The manuscript was found in a police raid on suspected antiquity smugglers. Turkish Cypriot police testified in a court hearing they believe the manuscript could be about 2,000 years old.

Judy Rebick has received death threats, been screamed at, and been labeled a “self-hating Jew” for her outspokenness on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

I've always been a fan of both painted artworks/posters and the classic LucasArts adventure games, and so I'm trying to preserve those classic artworks by Steve Purcell, Bill Eaken and the likes, cleaning them up, painting out overlaying text or stickers, plus taking the extra step to make these babies printable in poster size (or make them work as posters AT ALL).

Some of these actor-director teams have a history together—remember Ron Howard and Tom Hanks’s breakthrough, Splash, a quarter-century ago?—while others produced their first mind-melds in 2008. Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet even brought marriage and kids to the Revolutionary Road set. But in each case the chemistry was profound, the effect exponential.

If you think scorpions are scary, just take a look at this guy. Named Schinderhannes bartelsi, it was found in fossilized form in a German quarry, and dates to 390 million years ago. That's about 100 million years after the extinction of the last known animal to sport what's technically known as a "great appendage" — a giant claw growing out of its head.

We schrijven 1979, en ik logeer bij Marnix, mijn beste vriend van toen.
We zitten in de tv-kamer, hij in de zetel en ik in de zitzak—dat was toen een exotisch meubel, meneer.
Pitou de hond, een model Samson maar dan eenkleurig beige en met de neiging om te klitten, komt op en af gestormd met zijn plastieken egelspeelgoed.
Er waren veel goeie series op televisie in die tijd—Logan’s Run, Man from Atlantis, Mork & Mindy, Sapphire and Steel—maar wij zitten gebiologeerd naar Battlestar Galactica te kijken.
En daarna een blik rijstpap met bruine suiker.
Gho, wat waren wij toen gelukkig.
