Another selection of links to items you may have missed, and will wish you hadn’t. In no particular order …

Worried about Friday 13th? Or scared by the number 7? Seems that 13 July is the least safe day of the year.

And now they reckon watremelon might be the next super-food. Hmmm … sounds like a load of round things to me.

An interesting article on the pointlessness of Page 3 and the pointlessness of trying to ban it. So it’s another load of pointless round things!

Interesting suggestion that psychedelic drugs, including LSD can cure depression. Not sure I’m ready for that yet!

Well if you British men are feeling depressed, this might cheer you up. Apparently (on average) we’re better endowed than many of our rivals.

So from stiff things to … prosthetics. Ancient Egypt never ceases to amaze. Apparently they not only had prosthetic toes, but they were actually functional for walking.

While in the ancient world, underwater archaeologists are to revisit the wreck the Antikythera machine was found. That could be very interesting, especially if they manage to find more pieces.

And still on the ancient world it seems they now think that Orkney was the centre of the (British) neolithic world. Was there really nowhere less godforsaken?

Finally a different aspect of body adornment. It seems there’s a lot more to tribal tattoos than I had actually realised. I’m still not tempted though.
