Actually, the fact that Mars is still orbiting safely over here means that it was technically an *Euler* apocalypse, not a Venn one.

Subway refuses to answer my questions about whether it's an International Footlong or a US Survey Footlong. A milligram of sandwich is at stake!

For international viewers, 0.014 miles is about 23 metres.

Bah! It's just a bit over 0.015 miles, or around 50 feet plus half of that again to get 75 feet, plus some change because it's 0.016 not 0.015, plus a bit because a thousandth of a mile is closer to 53 feet, so it's closer to like 80 feet. Easy math. No need for your silly metrics system.

This was very confusing before I realised the author lives in a country where roundabouts go *anti*-clockwise.

Hey, we drive on the RIGHT side of the road. By definition then, you drive on the wrong side.

Even as someone from one of those countries (which, btw, is most of them), this threw me off after tracing the traffic flow and realizing that actually using the thing to go anywhere but immediately to your right would lead you into into the oncoming lane from a different road. Also hey screwtape

Driving on the left is the traditional side. Driving on the right started to spread after the French started doing it, probably because people thought it was cool.

Intelligence is knowing "Frankenstein" is not the monster.
Wisdom is knowing *Frankenstein* is the monster.

Pedantry is knowing that the monster has a legitimate legal claim to the creator's name.

I thought the convention was to name discoveries for the person who discovered them immediately following Euler.
