I read that that was possible because of mild (no AC or heat needed) weather at the same time there was strong winds.

Greenland shark may live 400 years, smashing longevity record.

Scientists have tried for years to figure out how long these creatures lived, but couldn't figure out a way of identifying their age. Finally, by looking at the proteins in their eyes, it's become possible to do so. This here shark, which is an apex predator in the Arctic Ocean, grows less than 1 centimeter per year. It takes about 150 years to reach sexual maturity. But the method is not yet super precise -- the upper estimate of the test shark's age is 512 years old. This means it's possible Christopher Columbus was still alive when this critter was born. Basically it's the oldest known vertebrate on earth. Incredible!

Here's an article in Science if you would like to learn more:

"The successful candidate will have proven experience in scholarly research, organizing and conducting oral history interviews, writing for both scholarly and general audiences, and knowledge of material culture and archival materials... Candidates with an advanced degree in American business, brewing, food, cultural, or similar specialization within history are encouraged to apply."
This is all just academic speak for traveling around the country drinking.

THE HUMAN FACE

Take a look at what modern medicine can do.


They had to give her a chin.


Here's some more faces that I found provocative.


Lookalikes?

Did you notice they shopped out her eyebrows?

Mugshots to help you feel better about yourself.






But seriously, this shit is embarrassing.

Let's take that last guy. Who the hell cares if he likes to sniff paint? Why is that anyone's concern, especially the judicial system's.

A deli near my home has a sign that reads: BLACK OLIVES MATTER.



But the arguments are all wrong.

There is no publisher in their right mind who would reject a black author that they knew would sell a billion books. The truth is that books by black authors just don't sell.

It's sort of like the problem of black people being followed around stores. When a shop owner gets a wanted poster from the police for two dozen known shop lifters and they are ALL black people, what do you expect the store owner to do? Seriously? And that is absolutely what happens at my wife's store. And we have a black mayor and black police chief.
