Now that’s an early bird special: Artifacts found in a Florida sinkhole show people lived in the Sunshine State some 14,500 years ago, scientists say.
Antiquities recovered from the sinkhole included a stone knife, a bearskin rug, and a coupon good for two mastodon shanks for the price of one at Ugg’s Family Restaurant.
That’s the press, baby: Presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump says Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is “using The Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don’t tax Amazon like they should be taxed.”
A 21st century technology titan relying on a print newspaper is pretty much the same as Trump relying on a stone knife to eat his taco bowl.
Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1796, British physician Edward Jenner successfully inoculated a patient against smallpox for the first time.
Vaccination foes insisted that Jenner’s shots caused people to sprout cowlike appendages; apparently they were thinking about the way their own noses grew longer whenever they made anti-vax claims.
