-- Batkid wins again, as the boy who saved San Francisco during his Make-A-Wish experience five years ago now lives a mostly ordinary life...cancer free. Biff! indeed.
-- A missing piece of the famous ancient computing device, the antikythera mechanism, may have been found near an equally ancient Greek shipwreck. As the story notes, there is no evidence yet that proves the new artifact is a part of the mechanism. Tech support has suggested that operators apenergpoieste ten kai energpoieste ten xana* and see if that works.
-- In this Bizarro outing, Dan Piraro illustrates how other sports acknowledge the superiority of baseball. No one not playing football ever wears a football helmet on the sidelines, and the team store of every other sport sells a baseball cap with the team logo on it. Just sayin'.
*Turn it off and then turn it on again.
The Batkid story made me so happy. It was one of those things that I saw just when I needed to see something like that.
ReplyDeleteAlso the thing Charles (Dustbury) posted this morning about ordinary working folks pulling together to make the lives of California fire victims a little better and easier, long before the "alphabet agencies" show up, that was also cheering to read.
I liked Charles' post as well.
