Someone was having a bit of fun[^] with fans eagerly awaiting detailed information about a major upcoming patch.
My question for the peanut gallery is, if you released something like this in place of normal patch notes, would any of your users actually notice. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I wonder how if anyone would notice the Code Project followup emails and articles being generated the same way? Today's had "operationalizing and automating their Big Data projects" in the text...

Look at QA. You don't really think anyone could legitimately be that stupid, do you?

Fifa has banned former executive committee member and ex-Concacaf general secretary Chuck Blazer from all football related activity for life.
So my understanding is that Santa said FIFA took more kickbacks than the Teamsters, the FBI et al arrests everyone [except the most corrupt pocket liner of them all] for being so crooked they make a corkscrew look straight, FIFA promises to investigate the endemic corruption that had led to the least suitable countries hosting the World Cup and as a result of all this Santa has been banned from any future involvement with Nancyball.
Yea, that figures. Sepp for President!

Your post reminded me of this clip[^] from Demetri Martin. The relevant part starts at around 2:45.

The rest of his life will not be for very long.
You missed the bit where the FBI said to him, you've been taking bribes, that is wrong, if we give you a bribe will you get information about all the bribes everyone else is taking, because we hate bribes, apart from the ones we give.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

In an effort to clear the last item from my bucket list, I am going to be visiting London in early August staying near the Paddington station. It just so happens that I have an entire day free and looking for something or several somethings to see that day. Afraid that I will consume the entire day in the British Museum and not have time for anything else. I am already going to Westminster, St. Pauls, Windsor, Stonehenge, the Eye. Maybe the Sherlock museum? I am mainly interested in historical things to see.
Any ideas?

One place I can think of if you are into Historical things is the Science Museum & the Imperial War Museum
|

Also the V&A is opposite the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum is round the corner.

Erm...you do realize Stonehenge is not in London?
It's in the middle of a field, about 90 miles / 140Km from London and takes about 2 hours each way by car (once you are clear of London itself, which is likely to take another hour).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Most Americans do not realised how far distances are in the UK (or how awkward things are), I do recall one American at work wanting to see something in Scotland and having to told it was his plane home or thing was not happy. Also is there a Sherlock Holmes museum? So there is well I'll be thank you Google

Well, the first place I put foot on London's ground was exactly in front of the Sherlock Holmes museum, as the bus from the airport dropped us there
