@andrey_rast_ w/ @taya_vais   Jewelry-stuffed Diapers: Paranoid Travel Hacks Go Viral Amid Hotel Spying Fears The use of “hotel” in the headline is misleading. What they really mean is home-sharing.

We’re talking about events that took place in 1873. So how could they know, just by noticing some irregular “stitching” on the mummy, that it was smuggled out of Egypt illegally? And then we found out that the smugglers wrote about it in their diary.  The entry was aptly titled, “How We Got Our Mummy.”   10 Pantry Pasta Staples to Have on Hand For the uninitiated, Pantry Pasta is the dish you make when there’s nothing in your fridge. You’ve run out of seemingly everything. And a grocery run isn’t in the cards. Sometimes, we refer to it as our “Lazy Sunday Pasta” dish.  Here’s what to keep on hand.   Unlocking the Mysteries of Quartz, From Ancient to Modern Times We feel comfortable claiming to be in the second semester of our Sophomore year at Watch University. We’ve done some (unpublished) research. We’ve gotten some practical experience. And mostly, we talk about it at parties. One of our buddies recently started his Freshman year. We told him quartz movement basically means battery-powered movement. Why, he asked, what does quartz have to do with battery-powered?  We didn’t know. Until now.   The Mixer Is math discovered or invented? In search of the ultimate negroni. The 10 countries that drink the most wine. Why aged gin is a must-have for your bar cart.
