Mississippian Period (ambrotype by Alison Carey) "The prospect of fossil discovery put an extra spring in his step that day.

"No matter your cable or satellite package, there's at least one channel almost exclusively devoted to his screwball undersea exploits.

Wild horses in Skull Valley (photo from wikipedia) "There must have been 40 of them. At least that's what we figured when we averaged our counts. A pack of 40 wild horses flowing together in a calico streak across the plateau, with a single gray mustang at the lead. We knew we were in wild horse...

"Boys come prepackaged with three innate characteristics which seem to inevitably express themselves independent of nature or nurture: a love for fire, the urge to climb stuff, and the impulse to throw rocks into bodies of water.

Due to some (I'm sure temporary) formatting glitches on their website that prevent the reader from viewing the whole article, I'm reprinting it in its entirety here this week.
