  •  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)

    A cheese fire??? See, if I hadn’t stopped by here, I never would have known. And I like to know stuff like this. Cheese can catch fire.
