  • Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize last year, which is neat and all, but what’s even cooler is that her face is going to appear on a five-dollar Canadian coin—an honor second only to having a New Jersey Turnpike rest area named after you.
  • The world’s most expensive musical instrument: “a Stradivari viola, whose asking price will start at $45 million when it is offered for sale this spring.”
  • If one loses the ability to speak, a prosthetic voice offers the chance to restore one’s vocal identity.
  • What was on French television in the sixties? Michel Foucault and Alain Badiou discussing philosophy. Obviously.
  • If you’ve got two left feet, scientists have done you a solid: they now know exactly which dance moves catch a lady’s eye. The Electric Slide is not among them, experts say.
