Hi everyone. I wrote this thing before SNL did its now-famous George Washington sketch about how ludicrous the U.S. system of weights & measures is - so since that sketch just got a sequel, and since in writing that newsletter I found a few reasons to defend Imperial (only a few ) I thought some of you might find it interesting, or at least a chance to teach me something by explaining to me how wrong I am. Cheers!

I'm the author of this piece. Since a few of my geology stories were very kindly received on here a while back, I thought I'd give this a go, with the hope I'm not being spammy in foisting my own stuff upon you all. Cheers for taking a look - and it's a pretty remarkable natural feature which I previously knew nothing about (if it was laid across Europe, it'd run from London to Belgrade).

Hi everyone. Since you were kind enough to upvote a couple of my pieces a good while back on the Zanclean Megaflood and Atlantropa, I thought I'd give this a whirl here, on the last & maybe the most ludicrous acquisition of the British Empire - a 20-metre high island in the Atlantic, surrounded by some of the roughest seas in the world, that's become the focus of a lot of paranoia and high farce over the last century. Cheers!

Haha. Thank you. Nothing but semi-clueless enthusiasm, I promise.

Hi everyone. Since a bit over a year ago many of you were kind enough to upvote and leave comments on my newsletter about the Zanclean megaflood (which seems to have filled up the Mediterranean basin in a matter of months), I figured you might be as interested as I was to learn that the English coast had its own version. (And if this is me being tediously self-promotional, huge apologies.)

Thank you! I could definitely have picked a better writeup of this story than the PopMech piece, and this link is much better. Cheers for that.
