@Kid-Chocolate Easter egg in the article - Permutation City is the name of a Greg Egan novel. I've read almost all of his stuff - definitely one of the best hard science fiction writers writing today

Was This Enormous Grasshopper Caught in Montana?
In the 1930s, doctored postcards featuring giant grasshoppers sold "like hotcakes."
So you’re trying to tell me this is fake ?

@MN5 clearly it wasn't shot. Who shoots a grasshopper?
He could have been aphid hunting and just as he shot the grasshopper pounced?

@Bones dunno, I watched the latest Jurrasic Park, and were some locusts that were over a foot, so easy to see how a grasshopper could be bigger...although, are they still just grasshoppers, I mean they could hop trees or houses? House hopper?

In the mezzanine hallway above the main dining room (I hate the term banqueting hall) I have an array of mounted aphid heads. It’s quite the thing you know.

When crashing trains was a spectator sport
Texas sports were pretty terrible in the 19th century. And then one man decided to slam two locomotives into each other.

@Victor-Meldrew my brother and I used to make trucks out of our Lego and smash them into one another until one busted!
@Bones never realised Joshua was so big!

I shared that with my siblings. One of my brothers said he opened it in a store, inadvertently with full volume and everyone looked at him.
