Super Bowl prediction

The prediction proved correct again! 


One of the teams with the highest point differential in week 10 will win the Super Bowl.


The last four standing all come from this group.


Seattle should still win it all based on the lowest points allowed per game through the regular season.

New evidence humans evolved from an African ape-like ancestor - Earth.com

Here's another scientific bit of research that examines an ancestor who was ape-like that may have been a direct ancestor. 

It's not quite the proverbial "missing link" but it does provide some clues as to our own evolution.

Suitcase stored in a bank vault for over a century reveals lost Habsburg jewels

The story about the suitcase full of presumed lost Habsburg jewels turning up in Quebec of all places is quite the intriguing story. 

But the story of Zita, who was the last leader of the Austria-Hungary empire, and how she lost it all, but made it to Quebec with the jewels is equally fascinating. A short summary is in the second link.

Unknown humans lived in the Americas for millennia, then vanished - Earth.com

This story about human lineage worth a read. 

Several times in human history, we've noted that a humanoid lived near (or even with) our ancestors, but they disappeared in history. Though they often left traces of their DNA with our ancestors. 

Here's another case where archeologists have uncovered a mystery group of humanoids that don't fit neatly into what we understand about human history. 

But again, the cool part is that science allows for this, and the theory of our evolution gets updated as we learn more.

When V Sagittae Explodes You’ll Be Able to See It During the Day

Here's a story about V Sagittae, a relative nearby star that scientists have been  studying for some time now. 

The way it's behaving, they believe it will go supernova soon (in cosmic terms, it could be 100 years, or maybe in our lifetime). 

But the resulting explosion will be visible from earth, even with the naked eye. 

I hope it happens in my lifetime. I think that would be cool to witness (even if technically it already happened).

Toyota Is Being Sued After a Driver Discovered His Car Was Tracking Him - Autoblog

I've been railing about this for some time now. By simply agreeing to purchase the car, the manufacturer can and does collect all manner of information about you - from your driving habits to anything that is said in your car. 

Passengers are automatically opted in by simply entering the vehicle. 

And you have no recourse, other than to drive a car that was manufactured in the late 20th century, finding a way to disable the information gathering in your car, or simply not driving. 

While it's a nice story that he's outraged and suing, I have no doubt that Toyota will win. He signed a contract when purchasing the car. And that's in there.
