- You might have heard about the guy who sent an email to an entire Federal department trying to find a girl he met at a party. This is his real, heartbreaking, story.

- Lessons in becoming an expert in drawing an owl.

- How a PI tracked down a rapist. Interesting long form piece.

- Pop culture expert surprisingly not ashamed of herself.

- A collection of awkward public kisses and embraces, featuring celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe.

Interesting, perhaps still relevant, quote from the preface to H Rider Haggard‘s Marie (1912).

“To-day the flag of England flies from the Zambesi to the Cape. Beneath its shadow may all ancient feuds and blood jealousies be forgotten. May the natives prosper also and be justly ruled, for after all in the beginning the land was theirs.”

Isn’t it fascinating how recent that was? There are people alive today who were around when this was written!

- What it feels like to be suicidal.

- Why we procrastinate (read it later)

- Where have all the great movie lines gone? What was your favourite line from a movie in the last 10 years? I think mine are all from Anchorman.
