The Curious Corner of the Internet #98

The Curious Corners #98

Hi there! Glad to have you around for this edition of the Curious Corner, I’m hoping you’re doing well, spring is around here and the weather is finally looking up a bit! 🌞

Normally I tend to shy away from asking questions, but I (Joost) am looking for freelance opportunities related to technology & software-development, there’s more information about me on my personal website. I’m available for remote or local work in the Netherlands, mostly Python / JS related stuff! 🐍

Anyway, that’s all! Now back to where you’re all here for! 20 fresh urls from all over the web!

• A stolen beach.
• Counting with Kaktovik numerals.
• The train lady.
• The history of kites.
• The mobile phone museum.
• Stealing 106 clocks.
• A visual book recommender.
• The Dimetrodon.
• How chess pieces got their names.
• Why woodpeckers don’t get headaches..

• Champagne bubbles are different.
• A banana equivalent dose.
• Train panorama’s.
• From water to air problems.
• Living with penguins.
• How bowling balls are made.
• From shoe to sock to shoe again.
• A random airport view.
• A monkey with a job.
• The longest straight line in Great Britain without a road.

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