    My step-cousin whose favorite animal being the hippo won’t like that hippo factoid. (Are we SURE Galileo and and Stephen were born the same day? G was born in the Julian calendar and SH in the Gregorian which are a few days’ difference.)

    If you think about it not much has changed in most of the world! Ignorant beliefs are hard to change without an education! And would you believe even in the most developed countries so called leaders refuse to spend more money on education or teachers salaries out of their fear of uttering those nasty words “raise taxes”! And say to each other if we do that we may not be reelected! And the ignorance continues!!!!

    Wow, Hawkings, you and the other 353,000 babies that were born that day. I see they found a 12 year old girl that has a higher IQ than either you or Einstein.

    What constitutes “archaeological evidence of soup”? A bowl with hippo chunks and crackers?

    I do have a recipe for elephant soup: Take one medium-sized elephant, place it in a pot or cauldron and cover with water. Add one chopped onion and one bunch of carrots. Simmer for four days until tender and shred. Add one bag of wide noodles and continue simmering until noodles are cooked to your liking. As an option you can add one rabbit but use sparingly as most people frown on finding a hare in their soup.
