Just at Eric’s birthday party. We’re best friends.

Eric says ignore sky sports, they’re just throwing out sardines, hoping for a reaction. Don’t be a seagull.

Then we all sang 🎶 Nous sommes en marche avec l'armée des Ten Hags. Nous allons tous à Wembley et nous les secouerons vraiment lorsque nous remporterons la FA Cup, car United est la plus grande équipe de football.🎶

The idea that you can convert your dog's age to human years by multiplying by 7 is a total myth. Now researchers have developed a formula based on changes to DNA over time: multiply the natural logarithm of your dog's age in years by 16, then add 31 https://t.co/s2qbmulhIq

Why commercial planes don't fly any faster?

Passenger planes speeds have continued to remain fairly stable around 480 and 510 knots (subsonic speed, less than the speed of sound 540 knots) since the 1960s.

[Shankar Venkatraman @shankar_vraman]

The average price of a ticket for a seat on the Concord would be around $12,000 adjusted for inflation. The plane was decommissioned in 2003.
