Searching out pictures of Tom Hardy seems like a perfectly cromulent way to spend the time before Onerous Tasks begins! I approve!
As long as you share your findings.

So yesterday I learned that my sense of the Ancient History timeline is riddled with wrongness.
I picked up a new biography on Cleopatra and was startled to find a few choice facts. I quizzed JZ on these and she had a roughly accurate notion of what occurred when, so I will put it to Natter.
Ancient History Quiz (no googling)
How many years between Nefertiti and Cleopatra?
Answer: 1300
How man years between the death of Cleopatra and the birth of Christ?
Answer: Twenty five years or so.
The next one I should of known if I'd thought about it for more than ten minutes, but I was still surprised.
What was Cleopatra's ethnicity?
Answer: Macedonian Greek. With a little bit of Persian.
So clearly I need to spend more time on the History Channel.
But Xena met both Cleopatra AND Nefertiti. How is that possible?
I heard the author of that book on NPR a little while back! Sounded very interesting.

Cleopatra was really River Song?
I love that the site is maintained by the Tom Hardy Image Liberation Front. A noble service, totally.
Weird prosthetic arm: [link]
Kaylene Kau's prosthetic arm isn't your typical robot-arm. It doesn't even have fingers — it's flexible tentacle design would make for an excellent replacement hand for wielding a lightsaber.
As a part of a student project, Kau was asked to "push the boundaries of current upper-limb prosthetic design." Powered by a small motor and a set of cables, the tentacle shaped prosthetic arm curls its claw to grip objects.
Cleopatra was Jasmine.
