Utilitarianism - the doctrine promoted by Jeremy Bentham, that the right course of action is the one that provides the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people. He was a very odd bod indeed, who had himself dissected after his death, then stuffed with hay, clad in his usual clothes, and displayed publicly in a glass-fronted cabinet. Not a pretty sight, and hardly the source of much happiness for those who have seen him ... weird!

Lectures - Back in my 'uni' days, we had three one-hour lectures every morning, Monday to Friday, with each afternoon devoted to three-hour sessions in the college labs. We didn't complain that we weren't getting "value for money" for our tuition fees, from just a pathetic handful of lectures/week and little else. Wait a minute, we didn't have to pay any tuition fees at all, did we? So maybe those present-day students who are complaining, with thousands of pounds of debt accumulating, actually have a valid point?

Bridge over the River Usk, in Wales. The Taffys know how to build bridges that last, though this one is a bit odd, with 12 arch spans on the upstream side, and 13 on the downstream side. The presence of a pub at the North end is rumoured to have something to do with the mason's confusion in reading the plans ...

Nebuchadnezzar, a very big (15 litres) bottle of Champagne. You might expect the bubbly in it to be cheaper per litre, if the common pricing practice for jumbo-sized items in supermarkets applied. You would be sadly wrong!

Archibald Leach, better known as Cary Grant. He and Peter Sellers both starred in films with Sophia Loren, and both of them supposedly fancied her as a result. I would guess that Grant was more likely to succeed than Sellers, but who knows?

Learn Greek in 25 years by Brian Church is really funny and sort of helpful if you are actually trying to learn Greek.
