"Hinterland
Who's Who" was a series of 1960s-era short nature films that used to
air as interstitial material on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
when I was a kid, maddeningly interrupting the cartoons. There was a
very funny sendup of these on an old SCTV episode, but other than that,
I haven't seen these since I was a small child. Until today. Now
they're all on the Web. Now, the Internet is complete.

I didn't know there was a mystery, but apparently there is a blob of x-rays which is hard to explain.

.A BB reader sez: "This is the world's biggest database for comparing statistics between countries. Sounds boring, sure- but check out the 'Mortality' stats. They've got World Health Organization stats on how people die all over the world - e.g. Austria has the highest per-capita rate of deaths resulting from "Falls involving ice-skates, skis, roller-skates or skateboards". Heaps of Japanese die of 'drowning and submersion in bath tub". Check out "struck by reptile". Amazing." Link
