Futility Closet
Futility Closet is a blog, podcast, and database started in 2005 by editorial manager and publishing journalist Greg Ross.[1]
History
In January 2005, Greg Ross started the Futility Closet website, an online wunderkammer of trivia, quotations, mathematical curiosities, chess problems, and other diversions.[2] The site has spawned two printed collections,[3] and continues to be updated daily. Gary Antonick of the New York Times' Numberplay blog described the first book as "the literary equivalent of Trader Joe's Tempting Trail Mix".[4]
gollark: <@417610788342333440> How many free subatomic particle names were there?
gollark: The chicken.
gollark: I sent one off for incuhatching, and it just stubbornly sits there at 3d23h and a bit less than 500 UV.
gollark: Zyus are annoying. Don't give them a bazillion views and they won't hatch, do and they'll get sick.
gollark: You either get zombÅs or hatchlings or nothing, which is better than dead stuff.
