An instrument? A hobby? An old family recipe? A whole new career?

Help me out-fill my brain!

Coca Cola once contained cocaine and was coloured green.

PCP (angel dust) was intended as a painkiller for wounded soldiers until the horrible side effects were discovered.

If they were facing the wrong way, would the earth accelerate?

Too many people buy expensive DSLRs and zoom lens then leave the camera on auto setting.

Buy a nifty fifty (mm lens) and change to aperture priority. Helllooooo creativity.

Also Play D8 was going to PM me a cake recipe. Hmmm.

Centuries before Ian Fleming would write James Bond into existence, another man signed letters with "007." That man, John Dee, was a mathematician, astronomer, and (some say) magician. He was also a trusted member of Queen Elizabeth I's court.
