Circular Reference
I was looking up something else in Webster's when my eye fell on
indagate:Etymology: Latin indagatus, past participle of indagare, from
indago ring of hunters encircling game, act of searching, from Old Latin
indu in + Latin agere to drive ? more at end-, agent
Date: circa 1623
: to search into : investigateAn intriguing word, but it bothered me
that I'd never run into it. So I checked the OED, and the first thing I
noticed was the second line of the entry: "? Obs." If the OED was
suggesting it was obsolete in 1900, why on earth is it not marked as
such in the 2004 edition of Webster's? Just to make sure, I googled,
and indeed all the hits were from lexicographical sites. To make doubly
sure, I googled "indagate the"; at first I thought it was still fitfully
in use, because in one of the hits the authors "aim to present and
indagate the fundamentals and practice of Plasma Arc Welding," but
clicking on the link showed me that it was (badly) translated from
Portuguese. Indeed, indagar 'investigate, inquire into' is in current
use in Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan, and I assume essentially all
the uses on the internet are from people translating from those
languages and assuming, understandably, that since English has the same
word, it's a good translation. I suggest that Merriam-Webster either
delete it from their next edition or mark it "obs," which it most
certainly is.
It doesn't seem ever to have been in wide use; here are the OED
citations, a meager crop for three centuries (and note that of the five
cites, one is a dictionary definition and two employ a synonym with it):

While we are still on the subject of coastal interventions, let us
finally enter into the archives Vicente Guallart's wonderful microcoasts.
Installed on a rough stretch of the Spanish coast in a state of
"permanent revision," to use the architect's translated words, these
terrestrial islands enable comfortable colonization where solid ground
gives way to more ambiguous landforms.
(Some patterned contours, some peaks, and some of the indigenous
population. Photo courtesy of Vicente Guallart.)
If we can be permitted to continue our self-indulgent streak, we would
like to imagine these microcoasts having been fitted with an internal
fantamagical machinery that allows them to expand and contract, either
following some sort of obscure, unknowable tectonic logic or in direct
response to external stimuli, for instance, beach erosion and the
fluctuating numbers of English pensioners.
Each one is like an orthogonal paramecium genetically modified with an
Autobot's DNA, unfurling its geometry laterally or outwards into the
sea, perhaps joining others of its own species to form a superorganism
and in the process Spain gains a small province, before mitotically
subdividing into beach furniture. For power, they graze on a diet of
sun, wind and waves.
When there is no more edge, when the sea finally abuts the city, they
will just migrate to new ecotonal pastures.
(More islands. Photo courtesy of Vicente Guallart.)
And while all of this is happening, you can picnic or sunbathe or set up
permanent camp.
(And more islands. Photo courtesy of Vicente Guallart.)

I'm going to ask if 'ambient' is better than 'virtual'. I'm thinking you might be more at ease with the latter.
From my POV, virtual already has wide currency, and seems to refer to the same thing. Plus, when I think of 'ambient' relationships, it extends to the people I recognise but don't know while traversing M/KH, colleagues, etc. It's the whole cloud, not just the web-based milieu. Virtual, on the other hand, pretty explicitly refers to internettish associates.
M/KH is the first place I've lived with a distinct cyber-neighbourhood that closely parallels RL, but in which there are 'meat' neighbours and 'virtual' neighbours. For me, the two don't overlap all that much. But I wouldn't </Description>

West Midlands Fire Service said the pressurised aerosol had been left by a bathroom window.
A spokesman said direct sunlight caused it to heat up and it exploded, causing the fire.
Fire service spokesman Archie Wheldon said part of an internal wall had been destroyed by the "explosive power" of the aerosol.
He said: "Clearly the message that we need to get over is, given that days at the moment are extremely warm, people do observe the instructions on aerosol canisters and do not expose them to sunlight because there is a risk of explosion." </Description>

biggest drawing in the world
the biggest drawing in the world, created by GPS tracking & the help of
express transportation company DHL. the pen was a briefcase containing a
GPS device, being sent around the world. the paths the briefcase took
around the globe became the strokes of the drawing. the giant strokes
passed through 6 continents & 62 countries, becoming 110,664km long.

UPDATE: I was already a bit skeptical myself, having commercial
ships/airplanes make 360 degrees turns above the ocean & all, but
commenters have also made it clear this story is a hoax.
