From Cassandra:
- Revisiting Milgram’s experiment. Cassandra had a good point: let’s look at the people who refused to shock the participant and/or walked out of the experiment.
- A 1973 paper on psychology. This quote grabbed me: “Suppose that in the next thirty years we continued as we are now going. Another hundred phenomena, give or take a few dozen, will have been discovered and explored. Another forty oppositions will have been posited and their resolution initiated. Will psychology then have come of age?”
- Graverobbing in 1820s Scotland led to mortsafes, which really need to show up in movies or videogames or something similar.
From Julie:
- More Magna Carta news! Another copy has been discovered, in a scrapbook. Why you would put the Magna Carta in a scrapbook is anybody’s guess.
- Facts you may not have known about Edgar Allan Poe. I have a new theory about his death: I think Griswold killed him, in a plot similar to Salieri’s in Amadeus. (I know Salieri didn’t kill Mozart. Maybe Griswold didn’t kill Poe. But MAYBE…)
From Zazoo:
- Behold, the Witch House of Beverly Hills! It’s now a landmark!
- “Did you know the Westminster Dog Show has nothing to do with Britain? It started as a bar bet at the Westminster Hotel...”
And finally, from Facebook: Hot Dudes Reading, an Instagram page which is just what it says.
Have a spiffy weekend and Valentine’s Day, everyone! See you next week.
