I studied the entire day. After waking up at 1:30 PM, I started studying (in bed) until dinnertime. This proved to be quite inefficient as I ultimately fell in and out of a steady sleep cycle. I went to eat dinner at CV with Amul. Yum, chicken wings! Coincidentally Steve & Kunal happened to be there, and we all ate dinner together as an apartment (1 of only 2 times this year, and it wasn’t even planned)! Kaslow was also there to keep us company – it was funny to watch him eat a cookie before paying for it, and having the manager yell at him. I would get snacks at Earl’s after with Amul. Afterwards, I headed to Geisel to study with Geetha, and before I knew it, the day was over. I headed back to my apartment to end the day as I had started it, studying. My pic of the day subsequently is Geisel library.
| Crime solvers follow the money, but experts searching for the lost city of Atlantis? In archaeology, “you should follow the stones,” Richard Freund said. Freund, a University of Hartford professor, believes he and his research team have found the legendary island-city described by Plato in about 360 B.C. as having “in a single day and night … disappeared into the depths of the sea.” Using satellite photography, ground-penetrating radar, underwater technology and some old-fashioned reasoning, Freund said his team pinpointed the city in a vast marsh in southern Spain that dries out one month a year. Their findings are featured in a National Geographic special premiering tonight, “Finding Atlantis.” YAY, History in the making!

On March 13th, 1925, A law goes in to place that makes it illegal to teach the theory of evolution in Tennessee schools ( The Butler Act ). In the next few years teachers who continued teaching evolution were prosecuted under this act. The basis of the Butler act was that by teaching evolution teachers would be denying the literal Biblical account of man’s origin. The law stayed in place until it was repealed in 1967. FAIL LAW. FAIL LAW. FAIL LAW. Lots of fail laws in American history 🙁 |
