When we hear Antarctica, we probably think of igloos

umm... I hope not. Maybe people think this? Since the Antarctic is not populated (except for research stations) igloos are definitely the wrong polar region, and would only be found in the Arctic.
Same with polar bears. Polar bears = arctic. Penguins = antarctic.

January 12, 1888, began as an unseasonably warm morning across Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Minnesota, the weather so mild that children walked to school without coats and gloves. But that afternoon, without warning, the atmosphere suddenly, violently changed. One moment the air was calm; the next the sky exploded in a raging chaos of horizontal snow and hurricane-force winds. Temperatures plunged as an unprecedented cold front ripped through the center of the continent.

By the next morning, some five hundred people lay dead on the drifted prairie, many of them children who had perished on their way home from country schools.

I am good with the majority of the descriptions, but disagree on a few. #3 could be a drill. No one would use #6 as a toothpick more than once. The attached image from another site shows that #9 is an awl as it shows the cutting edge. Because of the polished edge, I am guessing that #2 is a gouge.

Erdős did so much math because he also did prolific amounts of meth. His concerned friends challenged him over it, but he insisted that hew could quit anytime he wanted. To prove it, he went cold turkey for 2 months. He then said to his friends, "Are you satisfied? Now you have set back the field of mathematics a whole 2 months!"

That video really made me laugh. Watching the non-speaking animals in the background doing their thing was a brilliant idea. Thanks for the hearty laughs, Neatorama-lama-dingdong!

Astrology is complete and utter bollocks.

Hey, everything happens for a reason and it could be worse. Everything will work out in the end, so don’t worry, be happy!

Yet again, this isn't AI trying to kill anyone. This is human beings using a tool badly.

So the cheater/liar gets support from his own institution and he gets away with his deceptions. *sigh* I am so sick and tired of people doing wrong things and getting a free ride with no repercussions.
