Tomorrow we'll be told (hopefully) who is/are eligible to start the Article 50 process - by the British Supreme Court.

I think, somehow, the UK will stay in the EU.

(If I'm wrong, I'll apologise now.)

I think the fudg-ing after Article 50's started (if it's started) will be too immense.

My short-term memory's bad, sometimes. But, sometimes they're blessings too.

Not bad, 2 decent ones there. Not a big fan of Blue Herrings and I'm not a fan of the Scott cases (Orchis Fatalis being the exception)

It's not a worthy pursuit, believe me.

The AIVD Christmas Puzzle is MF HARD!

Here's one of its puzzles that doesn't require knowledge of the Dutch language:

This question counts for 1 lousy point and has 6 ciphers. They all use a different cipher, but the solutions all have one common theme.

xdaaw mnzlyomn
acn aqisjwq
jq sot wdpne hjnnq edws
qlmjr koodsy
ciicp
pqtqkjg qj pqtqkjg

Most questions are some form of cryptography. I just spent an hour or two on one three-point question. I could show it to you but it got me way up past my bedtime, and a headache.

Anyone else here fond of cryptography? Ciphers and all that?

Finally, today they published the answers. I scored 16 points and am at a shared 775th place of over 1200 entrants.

In Bouillon (Belgium), an auctioneer discovered a complete 18th century library as it was left behind by a French intellectual who fled the Revolution. The auctioneer described it as a "trip through time".

The entire collection will be sold in one lot and is expected to fetch between 35,000 and 50,000 euros.

A man's picking his nose - and another man observes this and says, 'Wave when you get to the bridge.'

For any cold case aficionadoes here, there seems to be an interesting lead in the case of The Brabant Killers.

Hey guys, I don't want to proselytize or advertise too much, but my brother recently started up a kickstarter. I know half of us minimum are some level of gay, but even if you just looked at the page, that would mean a ton to me!
