In 2005, there were a shocking 110 second-place winners for one Powerball drawing who all attributed their luck to a fortune cookie. The folks at Powerball were suspicious (typically, there are just four or five second-place winners); however, no foul play was involved. Wonton Food, a Chinese fortune cookie distribution factory in Long Island City, Queens, just so happened to correctly foretell five of the six winning numbers. “We are so excited,” said the president of the cookie manufacturer. “I knew people took our lucky numbers seriously. It shows that they really do tell fortunes, and we are happy so many people have benefited.” Each winner took home between $100,000 and $500,000, depending on how much they bet. |

If you thought it was impressive that humans can make it to the top of Mount Everest, you’ll be stunned to find out that bumblebees can make it to the summit too. Researchers who tracked two bees that were able to fly at more than 29,525 feet (or 9,000 meters, which is higher than Everest) admitted that they were “shocked at how high they could fly.” |
But that picture is of honeybees. :)

Gilmore plans to add muscle car museum to its campus
https://i.postimg.cc/0Q1GZTWT/fff.jpg The Gilmore Car Museum plans to “add a gear” to its buildings on its campus and has released architectural drawings and launched a funding campaign for a muscle car museum. The building will look like a 1970s car dealership and will provide 25,000 square feet of exhibition space, room to display as many as 40 classic muscle machines inside, with others parked outdoors under the structure’s canopied entrance. |

The Coast Guard busted another 'narco sub' carrying 12,000 pounds of cocaine Coast Guard crew members aboard the cutter Valiant intercepted a self-propelled semi-submersible carrying 12,000 pounds of cocaine in the eastern Pacific Ocean this month, arresting four suspected smugglers in the process. The 40-foot vessel, of a type often called a "narco sub" (though most are not fully submersible), was first detected and tracked by a maritime patrol aircraft. The Joint Interagency Task Force South, a multinational body that coordinates law-enforcement efforts in the waters around Central and South America, directed the Valiant to intercept it. |

The original loan agreement was through this past April but they asked if I would stay on to help get this new display going. I said "yes" so it will be on display through April of 2021 (...I think...). I'll have to tell them I don't want it sitting outside: it's never sat outside overnight. K |

Megalania were huge venomous lizards that inhabited Australia a million years ago. They are from the same lizard family as today's Komodo dragon, but they're bigger: Estimates place them at between 11 feet and 23 feet long. Like the Komodo dragons, Megalanias were fast, strong, and lethal. Victims such as pygmy elephants or tortoises would either die from their bite itself or from the poison from the bite. Megalanias disappeared around the time of human arrival in Australia 40,000 years ago. |

Quinkana, the predecessor of the crocodile that lives in Australia today, could grow to 23 feet long. Quinkana was a terrestrial crocodile, meaning it lived on land. Unlike today's crocodiles, it did not drown its prey, but instead used its razor-sharp teeth to kill. Fossil records indicate it disappeared about 40,000 years ago, around the time the first humans arrived in Australia. |
