Cover of Best of C.L. MooreGiveaways: This is an announcement. The “Notify Me of Follow Up Comments” button began causing some problem on the site. At this time it is disabled. I generally announce Giveaway winners on Sundays, so please check back each Sunday to see if you’ve won.

Tuesday, March 14, was Pi Day. In its honor, Atlas Obscura offers up several heirloom pie recipes. (My mom made the Ritz cracker mock apple pie for us once.)

The stone used to carve the 30,000 year old figure called the Willendorf Venus has been identified as coming from Northern Italy, which answers one long-standing question and raises others about migration and trade.
