Happy Friday. Amidst the chaos, here are a cornucopia of links. Thanks, everyone!
From Zazoo: A bizarre-looking creature washed up on a Texas shore after Hurricane Harvey.
From Julie: Farewell, Cassini.
Also from Julie: New mummies discovered in Luxor! I’m amazed there are still undiscovered tombs.
What happens when London’s Science Museum gets into a Twitter battle with the Natural History Museum? Exhibits of the strange and unusual, and a proposed break for tea halfway through, of course.
An update: While Salvador Dali’s mustache was untouched by time, the exhumation proved that the woman who claimed to be his daughter is not related.
In more DNA testing news, a Viking warrior turned out to be female!
And finally, here in the U.S., the list has come out for each state’s top five baby names in 2016. Apparently, a lot of Noahs and Avas are going to be running the country in a few decades.
Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. See you next week.
