Homo erectus made fun of us for 300,000 years

True, Homo erectus fooled us around for 300,000 years, but finally he has been uncovered in South Africa by a team of anthropologists from Universities of Toronto and Jerusalem. The researchers arrived at a place where Erectus had been cooking and socializing around the fire, but unfortunately they didn’t arrive in time to catch him red-handed. If he is caught, Homo erectus can take up to 50,000 years in prison for the crime of "historical sham", because he already used fire 1 million years ago without anyone knowing about it. So, if you see a completely naked man, with just over 1.30 m and 1.8 million years old, please contact your local police.

Easter Bunny arrested for stealing $ 1.600 on DVDs

The Passover began to celebrate the liberation of Jewish slaves from ancient Egypt, and then the resurrection of Christ, with his devotees decorating eggs, symbols of birth. Among the Protestants this holiday began to celebrate spring as well, and took the name of Easter, joining it a symbol of fertility: the hare. Nobody can explain how did the bunny replace the hare and took over the egg distribution business, but maybe we can figure it out now that the police arrested him in Ohio. If the egg is the Christian and the hare is the Protestant, we could suspect that the bunny is the Jew, but we fear that if we make jokes about Jews prime minister Netanyahu will be pissed off again.

April 2 – Get the truth today, but don’t get used to it!

It is believed that April Fool’s Day has its origin in France in the XVI century, when the new year was celebrated in the beginning of spring, during a week that ended on April 1. When the Gregorian calendar was adopted, in 1582, the French began to celebrate the year on January 1, and those who maintained the former habit became a pretext for jokes and lies. So every year on April 1, preposterous lies are told by the press, which are uncovered the next day. Therefore, April 2 is the truly special day; the only day of the year where telling the truth is the rule, because in matter of lying April 1 is no exception: no truth should ever spoil a great headline!

End of the Encyclopaedia Britannica destroys pleasant moments of relaxation

After been printed for 244 years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica will exist only online, which will reduce significantly our research options. Before, every time we wanted to make some research, we had two choices: one was to get up, get into our slippers and dress our robe, go down the stairs, make tea, open the library door, turn on the lights, fill the pipe, light it and look in the 32 volumes of the Encyclopedia. The other was to look instantly at Wikipedia. Besides, what will people who planned to spend $ 1,395 to purchase the encyclopedia do now? Unfortunately, it will be available online for free for a week, starting on some Tuesday that no one says which one will be.

Section of the Great Wall of China discovered

William Lindesay, a British explorer, found a section of the Great Wall of China in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, which was recorded from the time of Genghis Khan attacks, but that was believed vanished. He just had to follow the tips from a retired Mongolian geographer and look for it on Google Earth. It seems almost too easy. But Lindesay has been receiving great international acknowledgment and has been honored with several prestigious awards for his discovery of a retired Mongolian geographer.
