Friday, hooray!



The University of Chicago has received a wonderfully mysterious package addressed to Henry (Indiana) Jones. Did you send it?



From Julie: the internet is changing English, a story by Hans Christian Andersen has been discovered “at the bottom of a box”(!), and a Roman gold earring has strange symbols on it. Call Dr. Jones!



From Bunny: Amsterdam is proposing “punitive villages” for perpetual ne’er-do-wells. Er?



From Chuck via Cassandra: a suspected burglar steals a police car while still in handcuffs. He better not go anywhere near Amsterdam.



From Cassandra: the five creepiest towns in America (I’ve only been to one! Must fix that!) and an animated short from 1936 emphasizing ingenuity during the holiday season.



Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! See you next week.
