The sheet of paper that Paul McCartney used to jot down the lyrics of “Hey Jude” recently sold at auction for $910,000. An outstanding sum when you consider that more than half the words are “na”, meaning each “na” was valued at $4,026.55. Rolling Stone, April 11, 2020

Prices for Wyoming Asphalt Sour, a dense crude oil, recently fell to -19 cents a barrel. CNBC and World Oil, March 30, 2020

“Bull markets bail you out of your mistakes. Bear markets make you pay for them.” Anonymous

Verizon said it has seen a daily average of 800 million wireless calls on recent work weekdays, almost two times the call volume on Mother’s Day. The New York Times, April 9, 2020

The University of Warwick
