- a 1925 publication describes how to fill your own teeth
- Kenneth Arrow proves that voting systems are always unfair
Ministry of Defence employs psychics
Just a few years ago the UK’s Ministry of Defence spent £18,000 investigating Remote Viewing, only to conclude that there was nothing to it - or, as the MoD’s report says rather revealingly, that the results were disappointing.

An old home encyclopedia surfaces. Dating from around 1925, by which time it was already past its 100th edition, it’s stuffed full of fascinating items. he first we’re reading out here is advice on how to fill your own teeth.
Kenneth Arrow on voting
Prizewinning economist Kenneth Arrow showed that any voting arrangement could not adhere to a small set of basic conditions that most of might think were prerequisites of a fair system. Interesting.
