How your lost bag ended up for sale in Alabama

https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20...

I followed Hood to the middle of the store where a crowd had (compiled, convened, joined, gathered, gleaned) for one of the daily "Unclaimed Baggage Experiences", when a lucky shopper gets to unpack a fresh case.

The bags are inspected ahead of time so there's nothing illegal or (naughty, mischievous, wicked, vulgar) inside.

(donning, Assuming, Dressing, Decked) blue latex gloves, a woman from Georgia pulled out items while a growing (gaggle, congregation, rabble, huddle) of onlookers,

each with laden carts, (jingled, tolled, tinkled, clanged, chimed, belled, jangled) in about which items should be sold, donated or recycled based on their level of wear and tear, and about the type of traveller they represented.

"Oohs" and "aahs" accompanied the (showing, uncovering, debut, unveiling, revelation) of slacks, designer T-shirts, a vintage Pac-Man game and a glass serving platter.

The (agreement, consensus, accord, concord) : he was well dressed and quirky.

I then wandered to the onsite Unclaimed Baggage Museum, which opened in 2023 and displays more than 100 of the most unique items (unveiled, uncovered, exposed, disclosed, divulged) over the years.

Among them: a basketball signed by Michael Jordan, Amazonian shrunken heads, a 3,500-year-old Egyptian burial mask and a medieval (set, suit, coat, jacket, cloak) of armour.

Over the years, employees have unpacked a 40-(carrot, carrots, carat, carats, quarat, quarats) emerald hidden in a sock (sold for $14,000), a platinum Rolex that retailed for $64,000 (sold for $32,000) and a live rattlesnake (unsold).

How I changed my personality in six weeks
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20...

Based on emerging research showing people can shift their core personality traits, Laurie Clarke tried (tweaking, adapting, twisting, editing) hers. Here's what happened:

When I noticed a recurring itch in my hand a few months ago, I remembered an article I'd once read about people with mysterious itches so maddening they scratch and (claw, talon, nail, graze) until they tear through their own flesh – sometimes disabling or even killing themselves in the process.

I thought, (curdled, panicked, witless, riled) , "that's probably about to happen to me".

I experience similar (events, chapters, cases, episodes) on a semi-regular basis.

So it wasn't (fully, quite, perfectly, entirely) surprising when I scored higher than 85% of people on neuroticism in a personality test I took online.

I've been neurotic since my teen years, when I suffered my first (panic, alarm, scare, fear, terror) attack.
