Why do Yoruba parents kneel before twins? Why are twins seen as children who can turn rags into wardrobes? This powerful Yoruba panegyric carries centuries of wonder, prestige, and cultural wisdom.

Bike friends: Afonso Eulálio’s name is unusual in a few respects—besides being extremely euphonious:
his last name has 7 letters with only 2 consonants.
Hard to achieve in many languages
—but not, apparently, in Portuguese.
But most unusual of all:
every vowel is present, occurring exactly once.

Folks, a few judicious edits, and you can get people to say anything. Perhaps we should go back to 1977.

No experience, total trump toady is T's choice for the Agency that protects the US from foreign threats.

What goes up must come down. Judge orders removal of garrulous lettering added to John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Our earlier story covered the campaign against the capture of the iconic installation.
