Lets assume me and my peers want to hang out for a weekend in Barcelona, late september to watch a football game there. Any cheap-and-reasonable hotel recommendations?

Depending on where you measure from.  There are two places that make sense to start measuring from when measuring to another astronomical object:  The centre of the Earth and the top of the atmosphere.

Interesting.  So the Earth isn't a perfect sphere but the top of the atmosphere is, making Cimborazo closest to "space"?

The earth is kinda squished at the top and the bottom.

Actually, the top of the physical top of the atmosphere is even more irregular than the surface, and hard to identify in any event.  Cimborazo is merely the farthest surface feature from the centre of the earth.

So I was online at work today, filling out my computer-based yearly PHA (Personal Health Assessment).  It asks me if I am a member of one of the "Uniformed Services". 

Of course, so I select that option.  Next question...

"Which Uniformed Service are you a member of?"

It has the standard four, and the Coast Guard, and also.....the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.

WTF?

They're obviously a front for a super secret agency.

An interesting Alt hist scenario I came across, if George II had died before fathering Fredrick, his sister Sophia the Queen in Prussia would have inherited the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. Her son of course was Fredrick the Great.

Salic law would give Hannover to George I's brother, but he dies without issue a year later in 1728. The next in line I believe would be Augustus William of Brunswick-Lüneburg but he's 66 with no issue and his brother Louis Rudolph is 57 with no issue. The next claimant after that is Louis Rudolph's cousin Ferdinand Albert II who had married Louis Rudolph's daughter.

If Sophia's unwilling to let Hannover go, que a war of Hannoverian succession that rolls into and combines with the war of Polish succession.
