Friday Links!
Leading off with the always strong links from C. Lee. First, it's The Long, Winding History of Rock Paper Scissors. And, in true C. Lee, fashion, a complementary article: Biodiversity May Thrive Through Games of Rock-Paper-Scissors. This is remarkable story: Meet Maya, who piloted one of Tokyo cafe’s robot waitresses. I have them on a regular basis: How the humble potato changed the world.From Wally, and this is very clever: 50 Of The Most Evil-Looking Buildings In The World. This is both amusing and interesting: The Anglo-American Restaurant Criticism Divide. These people are astounding: The Ice Beard Surfers of Lake Superior. This is an incredible story: The invisible city: how a homeless man built a life underground. An amazing video: Kilauea's Fissure 8 Eruption - Lava Flow in Leilani Estates.
From Meg McReynolds, who traditionally sends an Iditarod link every year: Meet Quince Mountain, the Iditarod's first transgender dog musher. This is a beautifully written and powerful essay on the South: I Make Of You What I Will.
From Mark H., and this is a tremendous article (about the USS John S. McCain): Collision Course. This is entirely delightful: For Decades, Cartographers Have Been Hiding Covert Illustrations Inside of Switzerland’s Official Maps. More whimsy, fewer zombies. That's what I always say.
From Paul Adams, and this is an amazing bit of history: Meet the Liverbirds, Britain’s First Female (and Now Forgotten) Rock Band.
