Underwater museum: how 'Paolo the fisherman' made the Med's strangest sight: "The underwater sculptures create both a physical barrier for nets [to block illegal fishing] and a unique underwater museum."

Literary puzzle solved for just third time in almost 100 years: "The first time I opened the box, I swiftly concluded that it was way out of my league, and the only way I’d even have a shot at it was if I were for some bizarre reason trapped in my own home for months on end, with nowhere to go and no one to see."

Loose Ends: "A literary supercut composed entirely of last lines from 137 science fiction and fantasy books."

A Testing Experience: "[T]elling me, in particular, that I was not allowed to take the test would be the one way to guarantee I did in fact become a Scientologist, because I was a teenager and also notoriously contrary. In the end, [my father] decided to trust my unwillingness to agree with any authority ever about anything."

Loose Ends was fun.

It's pretty great! The beauty of saving links to post in batches on DW (as opposed to handing them out as they come up on FB) is that I get to re-experience them all over again.

Being the crazed nitpicker that I am, I have to note that the line attributed to Jemisin's The Fifth Season is actually the last line of the first chapter of Jemisin's The Killing Moon. My ebook copy of The Fifth Season just happens to have the first chapter of the other book included at the end, as advertising. Hmm, what a strange coincidence.

HUH! Neat.
