I had to look up the number of the bar in the white pages of the phone book, of course.

I did this exactly once, sometime in the 90s. I correctly guessed the bar my coworker was at around 8 on a Friday to tell him the start time for the following day had changed by an hour. Me: is ___ ____ there? Bartender: Yeah, he's right here.

How the inventor of the printing press made souvenir mirrors that could "store" the holy essence of relics! Magical Persian goblets of yore! The Aztec god Tezcatlipoca "Smoking Mirror" and his connection to Elizabeth I's personal sorcerer! These all relate to drones, really - read my latest:
