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, my last day in uniform, we will examine a few articles before I close up my office for good. Since my home computer is on the fritz, it might be a while before I can make another post, hopefully no more than a week. 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, we will examine why we should all hate Gary Thuerk, the Glass Beach at Fort Bragg, a NASA disaster caused by a missing hyphen, a lexicographic typo that appeared in Webster's, a war between the British and the Ashantis over a stool, and the crazy life of the man who killed a presidential assassin.
