Happy birthday, Douglas Adams who was born #OnThisDay in 1952. So long, and thanks for all the fish. “A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.”

This weekend only, Blackwell's Oxford will be giving open access to a passage from the Norrington Room that leads directly below Broad St. to the Bodleian library. This has been closed since it's foundation in 1966 and houses tunnels once used to ferry stock.
