Stone Age Bacon
Oetzi the famous "iceman" mummy of the Alps appears to have
enjoyed a fine slice or two of Stone Age bacon before he was
killed by an arrow some 5,300 years ago. His last meal was most
likely dried goat meat, according to scientists who recently
managed to dissect the contents of Oetzi's stomach.
"We've analyzed the meat's nanostructure and it looks like he ate very fatty, dried meat, most likely bacon," German mummy expert Albert Zink said at a talk in Vienna.
More specifically, the tasty snack is thought to have come from a wild goat in South Tyrol, the northern Italian region where Oetzi roamed around and where his remains were found in September 1991.

Google Search Tip
When searching for solutions to a problem, add the word
'solved' at the end and more practical results should show up
high on the list.
Beer Yoga
Yes,
it is a real thing. It is yoga that is done with beer. It first
originated in places like Berlin and Burning Man, and is now
becoming the biggest thing in Australia.
According to BierYoga founder Jhula, it is a marriage between two art forms, both of which are great for one’s well-being. “BierYoga is fun, but it is no joke,” said Jhula. “We take the philosophies of yoga and pair it with the pleasure of beer-drinking to reach your highest level of consciousness.”

Beer Can Origin
Prohibition was finally repealed during December 1933. During that
same year, the first beer can patent was issued. After much
testing and changing designs, the American Can Company finally was
ready to sell its cans. On January 24, 1935 the Krueger Brewing
and Ale company began selling beer in cans for the first time. By the end of the year, 36 other brewers were also
selling beer in cans.
A 'churchkey' type can opener was patented by another company that same year. One end was used for opening bottles and the other for puncturing the top of beer cans. They were usually given away for free. Young people will never be able to appreciate the versatility of this handy device.
Incidentally, Churchkey Can Company is a brewery founded in 2012 by actor Adrian Grenier and former Nike designer Justin Hawkins in Seattle, USA. The brewery's name refers to its flagship beer, which must be opened using a can piercer, or 'church key'.

Cell Phone Usage
During January, 2009, only about 10% of the U.S. population
had smartphones, resulting in network traffic that mostly
involved texts and voice, and some modest picture messaging.
Four years later the faster LTE wireless network that Verizon had launched during late 2010, still had not gone mainstream. AT&T said that data usage on its D.C.-area network was more than 16 times larger than it was during 2009. By 2016, 88% of the population owned smartphones.

Wordology, Chalaza
When you crack an egg, there is the white albumen, the yolk, and that strange white string. It is called the chalaza, and its job is to hold the yolk in place in the center of the white. It is completely edible, but is sometimes removed during baking for aesthetic reasons.
More Egg Tidbits
To clean a dropped egg up off the floor cover it in salt to help it congeal, then clean.
The older the hen, the bigger the egg.
Eggs can stay good in the refrigerator for up to a month after the sell-by date on the carton.

Horny Cows
First scientists have been trying to make dairy cows less
flatulent, now they are trying to make them hornless. Dairy cows
grow horns, but dairy cows in the U.S. rarely have horns,
because they are seared, cut, or chemically burned off. The
purpose is to prevent injuries to other cows and handlers.
Recently, a company named Recombinetics took a hornless gene from a breed of beef cattle and inserted it into a breed of dairy cattle. The resulting cattle are hornless, good at producing milk, and still genetically 100 percent cattle. In the past, breeders could have crossed dairy cattle and hornless beef cattle to get hornless dairy cattle after many generations. The good news for dairy farmers is that the cows are hornless, but not less horny, just confused.

Conscious of being

Happy Inauguration Day
Finally! Now we get six months before the 2018
midterm election campaigns begin and one year before the 2020
Presidential election campaigns begin.
Incidentally, Donald Trump mentioned the 2020 election during one of his pre-inaugural speeches last night.

Viscious Circle
Election
campaigns have sometimes been referred to as a vicious circle.
The term vicious circle or vicious cycle refers to a complex
chain of events which reinforce themselves through a feedback
loop. A chain of events in which the response to one difficulty
creates a new problem that aggravates the original difficulty.
During the feedback loop each iteration of the cycle reinforces the previous one. These cycles will continue in the direction of their momentum until an external factor intervenes and breaks the cycle.
Incidentally, A virtuous circle has favorable results, while a vicious circle has detrimental results.
