This bugs me

Every year, we hear some inane story about some prodigy who applies to very many colleges and gets accepted into most/all of them. 

And of course, they can only actually attend - checks notes - one of them.   

I have no issue if a prospective student applies to several, because you are playing against odds. 

But in this case, there are somewhere around 110 qualified students who applied to these universities - but were rejected because this kid wanted to be a show off ass about it. 

And of course, that says nothing of the offered scholarships that are unlikely to be given to the next student who has a real need. 

It's stupid.

This is cool

Scientists found human footprints that were believed to be more than 10,000 years old - but actually turned out to be more than twice as old. 

And that suggests that are theories about when humans first set foot into North America may be incorrect.
