Leading off this week, from Bryan, and it's a staggeringly good read: How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions.This is an incredible story: Marine Biologist Melissa Cristina Márquez Was Bitten and Dragged by a Crocodile...and Lived to Tell Her Story.
From Marc Klein, and it's really refreshing to see an athlete who genuinely cares about other people: How LeBron James’ new public school really is the first of its kind.
From Wally, and I did not quite belong to this group: Every Parent at Disney.
From Michael M., and this is good motivation for hockey goalies and everyone else: Jocko Motivation "GOOD".
From C. Lee, and this is a fascinating approach: Hunting for fossils in the quirks of language.

More from C. Lee. This seems like a good point, and it's a terrific read: Don't fear robots, fear robotic humans, says Japan's AI auntie. Both of the films they mention are masterpieces: Shinobu Hashimoto obituary: Japanese screenwriter best known for the the film classics Rashomon and Seven Samurai. This seems like the kind of thing people should go to prison for: Tokyo Medical University discriminated against female applicants by lowering entrance exam scores: sources.
