I hope not everyone’s Monday is as miserable as mine so far. Anyway, h[ere’s the famous award-winning violinist Pekka Kuuisto singing gibberish in Finnish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djIJ-2MbxT8). That’s bound to make everyone feel better. I love this guy.
Wikipedia says white pizza is American. I think we should make a big deal out of this.
Last night I was watching the F1 grand prix in Austin, and when the top three were standing on the podium the no kings -protests popped to my head. The three people on that podium were Dutch Max Verstappen, British Lando Norris, and Monegasque Charles Leclrec. All from monarchies. Pretty suspect, huh?
But then I started thinking about the whole F1 grid, and 11 out of 20 drivers are from monarchies. This is according to my calculations over 50%. Apparently only around 500 million or 8% of the world population live in monarchies (according to [this website](http://www.royaltymonarchy.com/) which is just so marvellous, lmao), so monarchies are super overrepresented in Formula 1.
What is it about a monarchy that makes drivers go faster? I wonder if some mega nerd scientist is researching this?
