Gosh, that would be like Swine flu AND Bird flu combined! Deadly double mutant zoonotic virus! Stay away from pigs and pigeons! First symptoms would be tongue twisting, followed by mental confusion, and then complete breakdown of communication.

May 21, 2021

Today is the 21st day of the Month, in the 21st week of the Year, in the 21st year of the Milenium, in the 21st Century of the Christian calendar.

If you know anyone turning 21 today, buy them a beer at 2100 hours.

Are you ready to serve uo a 21 oz drink to a 21 year old, Atithee? :D
BTW, I'm illiterate when it comes to drinks. 21 oz of what? Please enlighten me.

JIC—when serving drinks to a 21 year old, the type doesn’t matter. The ounces do. :D

^^^ See, I thought that when serving drinks to a 21 year old, the type DOES matter. I don't think you could have got away with 21oz of Gatorade to one turning 21. Isn't 21 all about doing legally what they have been doing since they were 14 anyway? 😋

Jenny Greenleaf was pleased that it was finally warm enough to go barefoot when she and her husband took their regular walk along York beach in Southern Maine this week.

But when they returned to their beach chairs and began to brush the sand off their feet, they noticed that their normally pale soles were a deep black.

At home they showered and scrubbed their feet, but the smudge, which was neither slick nor greasy, would only partly come off.

On Wednesday, Jim Britt, a spokesman for Maine’s Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, offered the likely answer: Millions of tiny black kelp flies that feed on decaying seaweed appeared to have died on one stretch of beach.

Recently read an article about how a climber who found lot of jewels(stones) from a crash site of Air India plane 8 years back now gets a share of his findings(I am presuming that Indian authorities were not able to find the owner).

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... lane-crash

There were two crashes involving Air India and one of the passengers was the pioneer of India’s nuclear program.
