THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW YESTERDAY

How and when our ancestors mastered the use of fire remains a hotly debated question. Now, researchers are hunting for answers buried in ancient ash and baked soils.

I found "...fire remains...hotly debated..." rather humorous.

Om Prakash Yadav, a class 7 student, son of a farmer in Uttar Pradesh, saved 8 of his friends after the driver had run away leaving the burning van. He broke the door & pulled out 8 kids, ignoring his own face burns. Was awarded but no awards enough for his gallantry. Salute to dear Om Prakash, an example for us all.

Hmm.. seems kind of like something a smart person would say.

When a hermit crab climbs into a bottle, the surface may be too slippery for it to climb back out.

We're talking about over a half a million in just two locations tested. Further compounding the problem, when a hermit crab dies, it emits a chemical signal to let others know that a potential shell has become available. The smell attracts another who dies, and so on, generating an ultra-strong signal that leads even more of the crabs to an almost-certain demise.

I raised my kids to grow up and be the kind of people who won't camp out in the cold to shop at Walmart.

THE BAD NEWS

Some public awareness of what's going on in Belarus.

Russia has annexed Crimea and part of Ukraine but the rest of the country managed to slip out of Putin's hands.

Now he is reaching out to Belarus to add it to his territories and turn it into a buffer zone between EU and Russia
They call it "an integration".

But it is clearly not just that.
They will form a common government over Russia and Belarus and a common tax system.

Is this integration? Guess, who's going to head that government?
We don't want this, but no one is going to ask common people. We've been sold for oil and gas.
No voting will be held but the results of it will be made up to show that we unanimously voted for this "union".

Please spread the word. Most likely it will not change the course of history, but the world will know what's true.

But according to Trump, Putin is our friend.

There are those who proclaim that modern times are no worse than any other and young people today just need to work harder. I say that the deck is definitely stacked against the young people. And if you want to know what the young people think, well, they are voting with surrendered lives.

Speaking of...

"Rehabilitation and private prisons are mutually exclusive. Why on earth would a private prison be interested in losing repeat customers?

Some things should NOT BE BUSINESSES: Hospitals, Insurance, Education and Prisons. Profit motives are DIRECTLY opposed to public welfare."

We all know bribes are illegal, but contributions to their campaign are not. I suggest that we pass a law that it is illegal to accept money from lobbyists for companies that the politician will be ruling on.

I lost my virginity is prison.

Frank Ordonez, the UPS driver who lost his life on Wednesday, Dec 5 in that police riot that also killed an innocent motorist.

And...

A Muslim American student entered the secret number of the door of the mosque next door from the school, which was hit by a shooting incident and saved the lives of many students.

I taught my daughters that the sun goes down each night because it's mad at her. I'll probably write a book on parenting one day.

PEOPLE EXERTING THEMSELVES

Now that was a wardrobe change!
^^C1^^

Take another look at this...

And think about it when you are about to do something stupid.
^^C2^^

Impressive considering he is not wearing skates!

^^C3^^

The horse panicked before it could see the guy. You think it felt the guy's footfalls?

Why do modern parents make such a big deal over the sex of their child? I didn't even want to know until I saw it pop out of my wife's twat.

"Went to prison, joined a fire crew and turned my life around.. I am proud of the man I am today!"

The real reason your flight is getting delayed.
