A few random things
Just came across a very funny website: the Encyclopedia Switchbackia at the Switchback Fair. Apparently, this encyclopedia has ambitions to become "the largest warehouse of human knowledge in the world", though I wouldn't count on its reliability!
This Just In: a report on the BBC news website informs us that the Mayor of Prague has disguised himself as an Italian to test out rumours that taxi drivers are ripping off foreigners. Upon hailing a cab, he was taken on a circuitous route and charged six times what a local would normally be charged for the journey. Apparently, the taxi driver is now in jeopardy of a fine of several thousand pounds. Speaking as one who has been ripped off by Prague taxi drivers a couple of times, I say bravo!
