• To which, add 2

  
  — Authority:

Over the years, the poles migrated, or ...

• Illegal numbers: Can you break the law with math?

  
  — Authority:
  When numbers are illegal, anyone with a computer might reasonably ask questions about what exactly would constitute an offence.

• Up Early…

  
  — Authority:
  Strangely enough, I usually wake up very early the day after a long running or walking event. I sleep soundly, but for a shorter period of time. Today I was wide awake at 3:30 AM.
