If you have tattoos you know how personal that ink can be. A lot, if not all, tattoos usually have some sort of personal story behind them. So to lose that can be awful.
That’s what a lot of troops go through if they get wounded and lose a limb that might have one of their tattoos on it. To be honest, something I never even thought of since I don’t have tattoos.
But now Walter Reed National Medical Center has figured out a way to transfer those lost tattoos onto their prosthetic artificial limb. Just an incredible idea that I’m sure means a lot to many of these people who have lost sentimental pieces.
It’s Shark Week so I figured this would be a good time to figure out if sharks have bones or not.
They do not.
Sharks actually use their gills to filter oxygen from the water. They are a special type of fish that’s made of up of all cartilage tissues like the stuff your ears and nose tip are made of. Similar to other fish like rays and skates. These cartilaginous skeletons are much much lighter than regular bone helping them float better.
They do tend to fossilize though because over time they build up calcium salts in which strengthens their skeleton.

Bad news… you didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday night. Good news… nobody did!
This is why you should be really excited today that you didn’t win last night. Because now the updated Mega Millions jackpot has skyrocketed up to $1.02 billion. Yes. Billion with a B. It could get even higher by the time they draw it on Friday night which could make it the third largest jackpot in lottery history.
There hasn’t been a Mega Millions jackpot winner in months, since April 15th .
Now, while your odds are very low, about 1 in 302 million, someone has to win right?!
With everyone talking about the historic Mega Millions jackpot (now at $1.02 billion for Friday btw) seems like a good time to look back and see just where the lotto started.
For thousands of year people have experimented with raffles, prizes and all kinds of games or contests, but the first documented official lottery was created and run by Queen Elizabeth I in 1566. The game took 3 years to pull a winner and was drawn in 1569.
They sold 400,000 tickets which at the time cost £0.50 each. That was about three weeks of pay for ordinary people back then. The grand prize winner got £5,000.
I’m sure those people would faint if they found out how much our lotto prizes are now.
