The Curious Corner of the Internet #92

The Curious Corners #92

Well hello there! You might have expected this email a bit sooner (I normally send it out at the start of the month). I however took an unexpected souvenir with me from my travels.

💩 Campylobacter isn’t really friendly to your guts and it took me a while to somewhat recover. I’m aiming to return to the regular schedule in December.

Alright, that’s the housekeeping, on to the regular programming! Here’s this months bunch of curious things: 👀

• A digesting duck.
• Doing laundry at the end of the world.
• Finland’s unnamed islands.
• Poisonous books.
• The museum of failure.
• A weird little timezone in Australia.
• The curse of the blue diamond.
• How truffles travelled the world.
• The putter.
• The hummingbird clock.

• Nibbles, or world eaters.
• Teeth that stop a tank.
• A sneaker wearing goose. (Thanks Fons!)
• Vertical flutes.
• Writing for reading back and forth.
• The scientific study of waves.
• Tea atop of Mount Fuji.
• The lowest string instrument.
• Helicopters sometimes have halo’s.
• Baking a bread in the car.
• Llandegley International airport dissappears.

That’s it, thanks for reading! Let us know by email if you have any suggestions for the Curious Corner!
