QuoteThe world's largest construction project is carving a path through the Saudi desert, but will the 170-kilometer-long megacity known as "the Line" ever become a reality? Journalists cannot freely report from Saudi Arabia, so we analyzed satellite imagery and spoke to experts to separate the vision from reality.

Not only have the cost and the timeline for construction shifted in the sand, but recent reports suggest that thousands of migrant workers have died while trying to deliver Mohammed bin Salman's "Vision 2030."

Calcio Storico, a mixture of boxing, wrestling, football, rugby, NFL, judo, AFL, Gaelic football, hurling, old English football and athletics in a sand pit between four Italian cities. What's not to like?

From what I can remember from watching this a few years ago the rules are surprisingly strict and the respect between teams is high. Also there looks to be at least 10 referees on the field.

I don't know how the scoring works, but I think teams score points by the "footballers" running the ball from one end of the pitch to the other, whilst the "boxers" and "wrestlers" can also score points by beating the stuffing out of each other on the pitch whilst the running game just goes on around them.

Looks like the Rossi won it last year. Bring on 2025!

Quote"Asking the question of, where did the entire universe come from, is no longer a question for poets and theologians and philosophers. This is a question for scientists, and we have some amazing scientific answers to this question that have defied even the wildest of our expectations."
