1. This happened One Day in July. All Tennis and Cricket fans , this will liven up your day.

2. I always thought if one had to go to the moon or any planet, one just needed to aim the spacecraft at it and fly. Obviously, that’s not how physics works. This is how it actually works: Orbital mechanics in 60 seconds

3. . Bart Simpson reviews Bart Simpson's voice

4. The maker of the great Ship of Theseus (watch the trailer and the movie ) Anand Gandhi has something interesting to say.
