Well, there was the episode of NCIS where the sailor married the (Syrian?) spy; she had died her hair; don’t know about blue contacts.

I got stopped a few weeks after the London bombings. I was heading up to Paddington Station from the Tube, when a couple of nice gentlemen of the BTP asked if they could have a look in my rucksack.

“Do you know why we’ve stopped you today, sir?” One of them asked.

“Cos I’m bald, bearded and carrying a backpack?” I offered.

“Spot on.” He said.

Assumption junction how’s that function?

There’s a discussion in a physics book on the Coriolis effect. In a footnote the authors mention a WWI naval battle near the Falkland Islands. The British kept missing 100 yards to the left of the Germans. The sighting system had been set up for a northern hemisphere Coriolis effect. The Falklands are in the southern hemisphere. Oops.
