Some links from this week:
The amazing Robert Hooke‘s folio of Royal Society papers, finally rediscovered in 2006, is all online and free. Oh, the wonders of modern technology! Also the song that we dedicated to Hooke – To The Ghosts Who Write History Books – is available for free on Daytrotter.)
Check out the news footage of the Volgograd bridge here. And the original, mother-of-all-wobbling-bridges episode was (of course, as George explained) the Tacoma Narrows shenanigans of 1940.
Finally, if anybody was (really) curious about the guinea pig sounds, there are some here. We think a “chutter” must be a “chut”, for the purposes of this database. Although a “futter” is pretty fun. (Turn the volume down first…)
