Five for Friday 436

Welcome to Friday,

I am enjoying this week away. Here is what I’d like to share from around the Internet:

Adam West’s Phone Book Prank.

Scientists may have found a way to explain Saturn’s ring belt.

Merriam-Webster adds 370 new words to dictionary. Some standouts were; Dumbphone; Greenwashing; Free Dive (which I would have thought added decades ago); and Janky (one of my favorite slang words).

Finally, a university cutting out red tape and taking an interest in assuring their currently enrolled students graduate.

Being Tough and making the right call are two very different skills.

Currently reading: Dracula by Bram Stoker

Have a good weekend.
