Our football team lost 21-20. Our kicker sucks. He kicked and extra-point attempt into our own team. Another successful show though. The Reds finally won and the Buckeyes start play today. Anyways, hope you have a nice weekend.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that Banksia epica is named after two epic journeys the first by Edward John Eyre in 1841 to cross the Nullarbor and the second by John Falconer in 1986 to collect specimens from the same area?

PICTURE OF THE DAY

A graphical depiction of the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, showing how the tsunami radiated from the entire length of the 1,200 km (750 mi) rupture. The leading fronts of the waves appear to hesitate before hitting the shore. This effect occurs because waves slow down in shallower water; tsunamis travel fastest in the deeper ocean.
