Description

... and someone please tell Prince Harry to act more responsibly.

This week we start by lamenting over the launch failure of Virgin Orbit from Cornwall Spaceport, then praise Wikipedia that soon turns 22 and we also have a lot to thank Susan Gerbic, the "Wikipediatrician" for.

Then in Pontus' absence we leave the pope alone and turn to the News:
NETHERLANDS: Alleged nazi treasure map keeps people excited
HUNGARY: Far right MP appears on the pseudodocumentary 'Died Suddenly' and antivaxers promote the movie ferociously
UK: Information about weird shaped waves could be yet another nail in Nessie's coffin
SPAIN: Researches find correlation between conspiratorial thinking and weird myths about the causes of cancer

This weeks Really Wrong Prize goes to Prince Harry for actively promoting a questionable psychotherapy and consulting a psychic to help him cope with the loss of his mother, then advertising it on his autobiography.

Enjoy!
