Wed. 02/10 - The Curious Case of the Purple Daisy Photo
Do all of these UV light “virus-killing” appliances really work? The mystery of the purple flower photo that has accounted for nearly 20% of all Wikimedia Commons traffic since last summer. And, it’s been ten years since “Friday” by Rebecca Black debuted to collective cringe on YouTube. To celebrate, Rebecca Black is back with a remix.
