Due to a glitch of unknown origin which resulted in some data loss, there will be a slight delay before the next Damn Interesting article appears. We uttered more vulgarities than you can swing a dead cat at, but it was a fruitless effort. Well, very little fruit.

Sorry for the delay… but in the interim you can always consume a random, cryogenically-stored article from the archives.
