Wed. 07/20 - Real-Life Quidditch Changes Its Name

from Cool Stuff Daily Hosted by Cool Stuff Daily

The real-life sport inspired by quidditch has announced their new name––and I have a lot of thoughts. Plus, a few companies in Japan have introduced standing “nap boxes” into their offices. And on the anniversary of the moon landing, NASA has announced the launch windows for the kick-off mission of our return to the moon.
