		<title>&#8220;Västtrafikkortet&#8221; is Too Complex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The West Sweden transit authority (Västtrafik) has a new card that they&#8217;re using for payment onboard buses, railways, trams and ferrys. In itself, the feature is really cool &#8211; the system uses RFID tags (I think), so all you have to do is to hold up the card in front of the reader and hear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Austrian PTSD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I wasn&#8217;t aware that I caught it, it happened to me quite unwittingly. It all started when I logged on to Spotify&#8230; Browsing in the music archive there popped up one or other interesting song &#8211; however, with [almost] endless resources at my hands, I started browsing into obscure areas; the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Measuring the Cool-off Effect of Water in Different Types of Containers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The question was formed recently due to a conversation with a fellow tea-drinker. Does tea in a large cup cool off quicker &#8211; or slower &#8211; than in a small cup? I thought previously that the greater area in the larger teacup would cause a quicker cool-off than the small area of a smaller teacup. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Drummer Boy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think my favorite Christmas song (yeah, there you go, I&#8217;m already singing Christmas songs&#8230;) is the one about the little drummer boy.
Come, they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does the Star-Spangled Banner Yet Wave?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I listen to people singing the Star-Spangled Banner &#8211; you know, at sports events, stuff like that. Which is great and all, I think it&#8217;s a great song, but why do people only sing the first verse?
In this case, it goes like this:
O, say, can you see, by the dawn&#8217;s early light
What so proudly [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Idea for a Grand Opera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[STAGE: A rural village in feudal Japan. A small, traditional Japanese house is nearby. Some cherry trees can be seen in the distance.
ACT ONE:
A samurai warrior enters the stage, inspecting his lands and his village. He starts singing the first aria of the opera, &#8220;A Sacred Land, A Sacred Call&#8221;, extolling the virtues of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Had a Strange and Curious Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a strange and curious dream last night
I dreamt my heart grew wings and then took flight
Flew far and wide o&#8217;er hills and fields of green
Above those golden clouds, to things unseen -
Plucking roses sweet that never grew
And singing childish rhymes all while I flew.
I touched the sky, I think, with outstretched hand
Drew fine-art [...]]]></description>
