There are no mosquitoes in Iceland. Due to colder weather and fewer ponds, the country has no mosquito population …except for one that’s been in a jar of alcohol at the Icelandic Institute of Natural History since the 1980s, when a University of Iceland biologist caught it inside an airplane. “I chased it around the cabin until I got it… It’s the only mosquito I’ve ever found in Iceland.” (, , )

The Central Branch of the public library in Kansas City, Missouri, has a parking garage that’s designed to look like a giant bookshelf. The “shelf” displays 42 book titles, which were suggested by locals and voted upon by the library’s Board of Trustees. ()
