Our favourite bits and pieces for Monday:
Frost on Frost/Nixon. Have you seen Frost/Nixon yet? You ought to, as it’s wonderful. The Times has an interview with the real David Frost on the film’s accuracy and what the real Nixon was like.
A story without words. A charming story about a young girl’s prosthetic ear, told in pictures.
How to launder money. The Straight Dope has been around forever, dispensing wisdom and debunking myths on all sorts of topic. They recently wrote up a fairly detailed primer on how to go about laundering money — an important thing to know in these financially troubled times.
Gaza’s underground economy. Foreign Policy have a great photo essay on Gaza’s literally underground economy, where everything from cows to fuel are transported in and out via underground tunnels.
Six degrees of separation. A visual represenation of corporate ownership around the world — from News Corp to Michael Jackson in six steps!
Debunking VitaminWater. “A nutrition advocacy group has sued Coca-Cola over what it says are “deceptive” claims about its Vitaminwater beverage.” Good. It’s just expensive cordial, people.
