MY Ady Gil, illegal video games, the famous spilled coffee lawsuit, Operation Cottage, pigeon-guided missile, the Japanese Schindler's list, and bottlenecks in human history

Today's articles include Project Pigeon, Chiune Sugihara, the Toba Event compared to flood myths and proto-human language, the WWII landing against a nonexistent enemy force, Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, Greek Law 3037/2002, and MY Ady Gil.

Today, I have quite a number of entries... don't really know why, except that I wrote down some cool stuff I saw on the History and Discovery Channels this weekend, and wanted to share.

Though I try not to be critical (and indeed, avoid negativity), they have highlighted some interesting articles.
