Ancient Greeks in the Arctic. In 325 BC the Greek geographer Pytheas made a voyage of exploration into the Arctic Circle, reaching the polar ice and witnessing the midnight sun. (Art by Mateusz Przeklasa)

@sarita516 Although the gold standard must be an old reporter my mum knew who got so plastered he stood at the urinal and pulled out his tie

@sarita516 I've used mine on the lift doors at work in my day

@janeyellene I'm not sure if it just a side effect of staying still for the photograph, or if that sergeant of 1917 has one of the earliest thousand-yard stares to be photographed

[Alexander D'Angelo @SirJasperRules]
