I've said it before, but it bears repeating. I am really disappointed that the media didn't refer to this Oceangate scandal as Oceangate-gate. News writers have since Watergate nonsensically appended 'gate' to nearly anything in order to signify scandal. But here, I guess the absurdity of appending gate to gate was somehow finally too much?

I shall ever refer this lapse as Oceangate-gate-gate

I just can't see much of anything on Marc's while on Firefox. I'm on mobile, but switching to the desktop version doesn't change anything.

Maybe it's just me, but his site is completely blank on Firefox. I mean, once past the 'enter' screen, I see a bit of text on the edges of vast white space, which I assume should hold images.

I immediately thought of Roman hypocausts, but apparently this sort of thing was done in Asia and North America thousands of years earlier. Who knew?

The problem with beaches was that they were too frequently found along the wine-dark sea

This description of the food web seems a little dated. I haven't seen a bird-eating spider in years.
