There's a lot of chatter about mobile noise on trains, and I occasionally see comment that things were quieter in the past. The 1960s wants a word. Then, transistor radios were considered a plague, to the extent that British Railway's Western Region produced this poster.

Baby Angora goats are among the fluffiest young farm animals in the world. Known for the luxurious mohair they will grow as adults, these playful kids begin life with soft, curly coats and boundless curiosity.

I like the way comic covers have been used this season as a theme idea.

#CFL Elo ratings after the regular season. Calgary's in an interesting position. They're guaranteed to finish above the loser of the western semi-final. Depending on how the rest of the playoffs shake out, it's possible (though not probable) that they wind up ahead of every other western team.
