Corn as we know today was actually "invented" by people taking two different things. Scientists believe people living in central Mexico developed corn at least 7000 years ago. It was started from a wild grass called teosinte. Teosinte looked very different from our corn today. The kernels were small and were not placed close together like kernels on the husked ear of modern corn. Also known as maize Indians throughout North and South America, eventually depended upon this crop for much of their food. I thought it was something that grew the way it was all along
-
We now give corn a helping hand with GMO's Yesterday Brian Wilson said that in real life, what Landy did to him was much worse than in the movie Love and Mercy!

They made another Jurassic Park movie. Is it just me or aren't there already enough movies with actors who all look the same running away from computer explosions?

I learned about Sybil Ludington. Not only did she ride farther and faster than Paul Revere, but she was never captured and actually completed her mission. Why isn't she in all the history books?

We all know it's because she's a woman... Today I found out, that after exhaustive documentation and study, my favorite dinosaur, Brontosaurus is back! They thought the skeleton had the wrong head on it... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-brontosaurus-is-back1/

Today I learned that the brontosaurus went away.

The British Open golf tournament is now just called The Open. I wonder when they changed it.
-
I have learned today once and for all, that I am the most important person to myself. I have been giving too much time and effort helping others and in the meantime lost my focus and missed out on alot of opportunities and good times. Not that I cannot still help others, but if I don't put myself FIRST I am screwed. No one else is going to take care of me but ME. As John Lennon said: "You've gotta serve yourself."

I hear ya Kittay... Women are brought up not to think of themselves first... I'm reading that across different fields of cancer research, up to a third of all cell lines have been contaminated with other cancer cells. This is ruining cancer study results. One of the main suppliers, found that 17 of his 18 lines of various cancer type cells were not pure lines, and were mislabeled as a different cancer cell. Although he notified everyone around the world about the impurities, he received only two responses! Researchers were still using the false cancer cell lines to do cancer research with mislabeled cells!! Oy vey, they need to ban cell phones in those labs... : Ummmm now which cancer cell line, was I using this pipette with? EEnie Meenie, Minie Mo... Wait let me get that text...
-
And just when you thought you knew it all. I learned another valuable lesson today. I can't say what it is, but I won't do it again.

Today while working in my backyard I noticed the weed wacker wasn't cutting the weeds/grass. It turned out there was only a short line on the spool. After trial and error and the spool flying off like a flyer saucer lol, I got it to work. So today I learned how to change the feed line on a weed wacker.

I just learned that Liverpool Airport is named after John Lennon. I suppose I should have always known that, but I didn't.
