3-Way Street by Ronconcocacola: an overhead visualization of the uneasy dance conducted by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians at a busy NYC intersection:

“By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks.

That’s completely absurd.

Polonium isn’t named after someone. it’s the Latin for Poland.

It was discovered by Marie Curie, a Pole, and her husband Pierre.

This is Polonium in solid form:

It was once called Radium F and was used to murder Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in London a few years back.

Anyway.

Silly Irish Times.
