EDITORIAL
This week we are very proud of Our Weekly Procrastination, because it was a day-long activity, outdoors, and absolutely free, have a look. In the News section we looked for an article that explained very simply the consequences of the US Government Shutdown. We share the last words of 35 very famous books in our Culture section.

And in Science we discovered that there might be another end of the world coming soon!
Happy Sunday and have a nice read!
