100 years ago today, the Piltdown man, an aledged "missing link" in human evolution, was oficially presented at the prestigious Geological Society of London...

It turned out to be one of the most prominent scientific fraud acts ever caught (use the euphemism hoax if you will). Despite some early skeptics, the fraud went unexposed for some 40 years.

Image
The Piltdown materials were stained to make them look old

Chris Stringer holds a reconstruction of Piltdown Man's skull

Whoa,nelly,I've got until midnight tonight and it's just 2:00 am here.I get as much FZ as I can into Zappadan.So I've got almost a whole day left to celabrate Frank Zappa's life and works.
I promise to do it with pride and honor and not to come in your mouth.

I met a person tonight that lived next to Moon Unit and her family when he was 9.....more later.











If there is a later! Mwahahah! :twisted:

60 years ago in The Netherlands, high spring tide and a severe storm combined to cause the North Sea Flood of 1953. It would take 1836 lives, primarily in the south-west of The Netherlands. Eventually it would lead to the Delta Works, a massive collection of dams and sluices to protect the country from the sea.
