A priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest. The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"
Peking ManIn 1927, evidence of Peking Man, a well-preserved left lower molar was uncovered by Swedish paleontologist Birgir Bohlin at a large-scale archaeological dig in caves inside Zhoukoudian Cave, outside Peking (now Beijing), China. After studying the new tooth and the earlier finds, Davidson Black deduced that they were from an early human ancestor that he named Peking Man, Sinathropus pekinensis. The search for hominid fossils had been going on since Spring; the tooth had been found just three days before work was to stop. Further teeth and jaw fragments were found in 1928, and a well-preserved, nearly complete skull of an adolescent was dug out in 1929 at the same site.[Image: Peking Man skull reconstruction] |
