It's about time we get more creative works with Latin names in the ablative plural. Nominative and accusative are old hat IMO

Fun fact: several years after his Provisional Government was deposed by the Bolsheviks in 1917, former Russian prime minister Alexander Kerensky married Brisbane-born Nell Tritton and relocated briefly to peaceful, leafy Clayfield in Brisbane’s northern suburbs www.smh.com.au/world/alexan...

My commute often includes both the Magic Mile and James St. If they do end up turning the former into the latter, I hope they pedestrianise it www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/que...
James Streets of the future? How these industrial hubs could be transformed

A program to correct the system clock on MS-DOS
Due to many reasons (e.g. temperature fluctuations that affected the oscillator), old systems could be off up to several minutes a day.
I found this referenced when searching for software used by NASA.

The best part of die hard is when he walks in and asks the guy at the desk where holly is, the guy tells him to use the computer directory, he eventually finds her in it, and says “30th floor” and the guy at the desk says “they’re the only ones left in the building”.

Strange Days is 30 years old! My goodness! I still think it's not a 'good' film, but it is definitely memorable and intriguing. Also Ralph Fiennes is called "Lenny"

Star Trek is the absolute king of setups that have no payoff. I think every single show has heaps of examples. To take just one example; The Borg! They were meant to be Starfleet's greatest ever enemy but then the writers just sort of forgot about them
Most wasted setup ever
