Featured articles
Four featured articles were promoted this week.
 * ARTICLE ( |nominated by ) Description.


 * Fremantle Prison (15 Aug) Fremantle Prison is in the place of the same name, Western Australia. It is now a tourist destination. The prison was constructed between 1851 and 1859 by convict labour. It is a complex of cell blocks, a gatehouse, perimeter walls, cottages and tunnels- these were sunk into the limestone rock on which the prison was built, and were used to supply water to the town from an aquifer. Prisoners were required to pump the water by hand into a tank; in 1896 a steam-driven pump was installed which the prisoners stoked with wood.
 * Last Gasp (Inside No. 9) (15 Aug):The Last Gasp was an episode of the comedy series Inside No. 9. A seriously ill young girl receives a visit from a singer, as arranged by a charity. The singer dies whilst (Drmies hates this word) blowing up a balloon. The singer's "last gasp" imprisoned in the balloon acquires some monetary value.
 * American Pharoah (15 Aug): A bay colt with a faint star on his forehead, American Pharoah is so named because his breeder and owner, Ahmed Zayat, is of Egyptian-American background. The mispelling of the name was allegedly the result of holding a competition on social media; the winning name was copied and pasted into an email sent to The Jockey Club, although the submitter claimed she knew how to spell "Pharaoh" and someone else must have transposed the vowels.
 * Serpens (15 Aug) Another article about some bright dots in the night sky. There are billions and billions of these, and we shall be occupied into our dotage writing synopses of the damn FAs.
