A few days ago I clicked on the links on the home page and two or three failed. I thought I’d try again next time I came back but today there were new topics. And one of those links is broken, the one on pygmies. Is there any way to find out what were the topics prior to the current ones, that were showing a week ago, so I can check those too? ---

If the second “straightdope” is removed from the URL, so [http://www.straightdope.com/straightdope/columns/040220.html](http://www.straightdope.com/straightdope/columns/040220.html) becomes [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/040220.html](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/040220.html) It should work. Has someone been mucking about with the column URLs? Here’s the [column index for previous columns,](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/index.html) **extendidwarranty**. ---
