I’m watching Bridget Jones’s Diary right now while I’m working, and I just realized that the woman that plays Bridget’s friend Jude is the same actress that plays Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter movies. Shirley Henderson plays both characters even though they’re completely different ages. It’s actually pretty damn impressive that she can pass for a teenager even though she’s 40.

Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
