What Hacker News says?
I think I included most of the links I intended (some were repeats from the previous message but bore repeating in context, and the last one to the timeline has a lot of other fascinating links), but here is another interesting one from Buzzfeed about An Open Secret: https://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/an-open-secret-hollywood-...

HN discussion In other Colchester roundabout news, the one at North Station is fun - it's a normal roundabout, but with a road cutting right through the middle of it too: https://www.youhaventlived.com/qblog/2005/QBlog160705A.html There are lights to make sure nobody crashes - effectively switching it between being a roundabout and being a through road - but it's still pretty weird.
