On this day in 1942, Casablanca was released with the often misquoted: "Play it again, Sam."
The quote is actually: "Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By." You know it's a misquote because if you go into a bar and put on "As Time Goes By", no one will allow you to play it again.

History should be used in sentences like: "History is fascinating" or "what time is my favourite history podcast" but not in sentences like "History will remember me kindly."

Don't worry, conservative friends. State funded healthcare isn't actually socialist. The Mauryan Empire existed between 324-187 BC and had state funded hospitals. And they were ruled over by a divinely favoured king, so you'd feel right at home.

2,000-year-old restaurant uncovered in Pompei, maybe the world's first Cafe Nero. Try the Caesar Salad or the Antoninus Pie.
