OK - a very tangential takeoff: Engineering prof assigns students this question: Explain how to determine the height of a very tall building using a barometer.

Obviously meant to use change in barometric pressure with altitude. But one student submitted the following:

There are several ways of doing this

1. On a sunny day, stand the barometer up in the sun, measure the length of its shadow relative to its height, then measure the length of the building’s shadow and calculate its height from that.

2. Go into the stairwell and climb the stairs to the top, marking off the length of the barometer on the wall, giving you the height of the building in “barometer units”.

3. Go onto the roof of the building and drop the barometer off the top and time how long it takes to hit the ground, then calculate the height using the well known formula of 32 ft./sec./sec.

4. Go into the office of the building superintendent and say “If you tell me how tall this building is, I will give you this nice barometer”.

Hi Neil,

Do you have any fun stories about Terry Jones? Kinda feeling his loss a lot at the moment.

Terry Jones was the only person I ever interviewed as a young journalist who got me drunk. I was 23. He asked what I'd like to drink when I arrived and I said "coffee". He though about that for a moment and decided I would prefer Chablis, and a few moments later he produced a bottle of Chablis twice the size of a normal wine bottle and then proceeded to pour it into both of us while I interviewed him.

The interview was enormously fun (Terry was in the process of writing Labyrinth at the time.) After the interview the photographer and I went out for a pizza and I remember heading to the toilets and then lying on the floor while the room spun around, holding on to the floor because otherwise I might fall off.

I know nothing about Doctor Who lore but I feel like the Cybermen and the Daleks are both the descendents of two exes who both designed robots.

actual ad from when Subaru was marketing directly to lesbians in the 90s

[archival-purposes-only-here-dea]

#is this real

yes! here’s an article about subaru marketing directly to lesbians

This search for niche groups led Subaru to the 3rd rail of marketing: They discovered that lesbians loved their cars. Lesbians liked their dependability and size, and even the name “Subaru.” They were four times more likely than the average consumer to buy a Subaru. […] Subaru decided to launch an ad campaign focused on lesbian customers. It was such an unusual decision—and such a success—that it pushed gay and lesbian advertising from the fringes to the mainstream.

If you’ve ever wondered why people joke about lesbians driving Subarus, the reason is not just that lesbians like Subarus. It’s that Subaru cultivated its image as a car for lesbians—and did so at a time when few companies would embrace or even acknowledge their gay customers.
