Many years ago our helpdesk got a call from a Senior Manager about a buzzing sound in his office that was driving him crazy. Checked his computer and of course nothing found. Checked the floor and the walls, again nothing but sounded like whatever it was, it was in the wall. Got building management involved - nothing. Finally, with a room full of people all standing around waiting and looking - found a phone deep in his desk drawer putting out a reminder every 15 minutes.
The only difference between running and a polygamous cult is that running isn't polygamous.
These links are always interesting and some turn into rabbit holes leading me to other discoveries. At "The Force Was With Them" link they briefly touched on building the pyramids. They listed a bunch of stats I hadn't heard before like 20 million tons of stone and 4000 years before anyone built anything taller. This is what makes these links valuable in addition to interesting.
