November issue of the newsletter (mini-AIR): Quite

The November 2025 issue of mini-AIR, our teeny tiny free little e-newsletter of overflow detritus that did not fit in the magazine (Annals of Improbable Research), has just gone out.

The issue contains info about research on the topic “Quite.”

Another highlight is the winning entry in the competition to create a limerick to explain this study: “A Topographical Index of Hiding-Places, II,” Michael Hodgetts, British Catholic History, vol. 24, no. 1, 1998, pp. 1-54.

Winning limerickicist MICHAEL HODGKIN writes:

Mike Hodgetts has published a guide
To hundreds of places to hide
Which used to be used
By priests who recused
And chose what was then the wrong side.

In mini-AIR you can also see two (not just one) limericks on that same topic by our limerick laureate, Martin Eiger.

Add yourself to the distribution list, if you like, and receive a new mini-AIR issue each month by email.
