Absurd, interesting, anything: misc nerdy links

In my collection of blog post drafts, a sediment of very short posts accumulated that only contained a link and a note. Too short to post, but combined, they make up a nerdy mixture from interesting to fanciful:

How to improve cognition. Not by brain exercises, they say, “But there are other proven ways to [...]
