When Google's users searched for airlines' toll-free phone numbers, Google directed them to phones that rang in the scammers' boiler room, where they were tricked into giving up their passport info and credit card numbers to boiler-room thieves: www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... 20/

Phone numbers for airlines listed on Google directed to scammers

It's Textile Tuesday, and you know what that means: a piece by artist Faig Ahmed called "The Dragons of Karabakh" that's woven to look like an antique Central Asian carpet is melting off the wall into a puddle. More about the artist here: faigahmed.com

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

• panters cannot pant hım; looks like someone else (38b) • insensitive to music (38b) • despises death and the dead (38b) . is affected only by relics that are older than he is (38b) • can create evil thoughts in others, banish good ones, and destroy will (38b) • cannot be photographed; photographs come out black or like a skeleton corpse (4, 38b) • can tell if bodies are dead or alive (4) • sees man semingly dead and says "no" (4) • has to be brought or carried over threshold. Dracula visits an asylum where he stumbles on the threshold (4, 16) • named "Count Wampyr" (1) • can determine and prove if people are sane (24) green taper with blue flame in Count's house (43va)
