What a primitive culture: A University of Washington student doing landscape work at the campus discovered an ancient Indian artifact that could be between 4,000 and 6,700 years old, a find considered unusual in the middle of the city.
But imagine how puzzled archaeologists will be, some 5,000 years from now, when digging around UW's Greek row they discover the remains of a beer bong and a stack of Maxim magazines.
My God, it's full of stars: A refurbished Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the oldest galaxies yet. Scientists estimate the galaxies formed about 600 million years after the Big Bang, after seeing what is essentially a snapshot of the galaxies when they were relative toddlers.
Scientists were able to establish the galaxies' young age by noticing their habit of grabbing at stray stars and planets and yelling, “Mine! Mine!”
Don't tune next week CBS announced Tuesday that it will cancel “As the World Turns,” a soap opera that first aired in 1956.
The only soap operas remaining at CBS will be “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and any newscast involving Tiger Woods.
