That "knocked it down" video was oddly satisfying to watch.
We have the wrong question about health care. The top issue is the fact our hospitals were overwhelmingly built for childbirth to match the needs of boomers, but now they are dying off and our hospitals are not built for the boomers dying off.
Miss Cellania... for years I have lamented the hole that Mental Floss's Morning Cup of Links left in my life. I genuinely had no idea you were still doing them and I'm not exaggerating when I say that finding your blog today has brought tears to my eyes. Time to fire up the old RSS reader and bring joy back to my mornings. Thank you.
Welcome, Squirrel Ellie! It's been eight years since I worked at Mental Floss. I don't have a links list every day, only about three times a week. The good part is that there are no sponsored links in this version.
Same here. I found so many interesting links from the old Neatorama, including this one.
