Although it has been reported that moths have bitten humans in Asia, it was not until the summer of 1999 that a Russian scientist, Vladimir Kononenko, observed that this species of moth was capable of filling its stomach with human blood.[7]

Version 1 concatenates the 48-bit MAC address of the "node" (that is, the computer generating the UUID), with a 60-bit timestamp, being the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since midnight 15 October 1582 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the date on which the Gregorian calendar was first adopted by the bulk of Europe, which at that time was dominated by Roman Catholic Spain.

A clootie well is a holy well (or sacred spring), almost always with a tree growing beside it, where small strips of cloth or ribbons are left as part of a healing ritual, usually by tying them to branches of the tree (called a clootie tree or rag tree).

good thing it’s the Wikipedia anyone can edit

(those bits were probably written years apart, paleontologists went back and forth on what to call it a couple of times)

I can explain why :pseudo:

the name of any species is linked to type specimens, which are the individuals that the species description was based on. Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were described by different scientist, and from different specimens.

if you think that the specimens that were used to describe both Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus came from the same species, the older name Apatosaurus takes priority. if you think that they are different species, both Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus are valid names for different kind of dinosaurs.

there are palaeontologists on both sides of the issue, and it's not settled.

From that same article, under Legacy:

quote:

Midgley's legacy is the negative environmental impact of leaded gasoline and freon.[29] Environmental historian J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history",[30] and Bill Bryson remarked that Midgley possessed "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny".[31] Fred Pearce, writing for New Scientist, described Midgley as a "one-man environmental disaster".[32]

The fiberglass body of DRAG-U-LA was built from a coffin that Richard "Korky" Korkes, Barris's project engineer, was able to purchase from a funeral home in North Hollywood. Korkes said in 2013 that it was illegal to sell a coffin without a death certificate, so he made a deal with the funeral director to pay in cash and have the coffin left outside the rear door to be collected after dark.

Approximately 20 years ago we attempted to rent an actual coffin to serve as an ice-filled drink cooler at a Halloween party, after which it would be returned, presumably to serve its intended eternal function.

We were unable to obtain a coffin for this endeavor, and so we had to make do with normal Coleman coolers on the back porch. (The party was still a great success.)

The fact that it is a clay copy of what appears to be an Ericsson S868 mobile phone,[6] a model from the 1990s, had no meaning for the artist, who was using it as a metaphor for mobile devices in general.[3]
