- True, this Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Identification Kit from the 1960s, which was used as an educational tool for kids and law enforcement groups, is fascinating as a piece of historical ephemera. But I’m mostly digging the layout. (Retronaut via Laughing Squid)
- And speaking of ephemera, the business cards of notable people—Freud, Andy Warhol, Abraham Lincoln—turn out to be rather compelling as well. (Flavorwire)
- I actually cross-checked this headline with The Onion to see if it was a prank, but no: a raging cheese fire has shut down a tunnel in Norway for the past six days. (Reuters)
- Funny Jon Stewart being funny about the big three cable news networks and their war of inauguration day inanities. (Atlantic Wire)
- Mad Men freaks, prick up your ears: here’s everything there is to know about the show’s just-announced next season. (AV Club)
