That’s a really good clarification.

What is all this nonsense about striking Jefferson from history and revering French gender theorists?

Anvilania....

Anvilaaaaaaaaaaaaaniaaaaaaaa.........

The small sample is easily explained by it being an obscure area of math and the most recent citation to his most prolific work was in 2021 from a quick search...

ETA: some support about the obscurity: "Maxwell Reade, a member of his dissertation committee, said, "I would guess that maybe 10 or 12 men in the country understood or appreciated it"

Who could have seen that coming??

He took me behind the furnace and touched me in my pants.

You're exactly right, there is more to Jefferson than slavery. Yet, you could measure historical figures in their entirety and not see them as people to hold in reverence at all. I'd be more impressed that Jefferson was the primary penman behind the Declaration of Independence if he wholly subscribed to the ideals therein, for instance. You know, contrary to the whole "don't measure by today's standards, such and such person was just a product of their time", it's perfectly acceptable to judge the actions of a historical figure by our own standards. It reasserts our own moral progress. People in the future are going to do it to us, too

You're rewatching Ted Lasso, aren't you? Just saw this scene last night.

You may want to re-read the article OP posted then. It talks exclusively about the middle ear and the middle ear bones (which it mentions by name as well). The semi-circular canals are in a different part of the ear and do not appear to have been the bones that used to be attached to the jaw. The pictures are jaw bones.

Thanks!

That's a really good observation.

This story always reminded me of Good Will Hunting

So basically any of Saul’s letters to the Greeks were cast aside? Good. St. Paul the Bandwagoner did so much damage to Jesus’s legacy in the Church.

I remember the University of Hawaii sports teams used to be called the Rainbow Warriors (or Rainbow Wahine for women's teams). In 2000, many of the men's teams dropped the "rainbow" part and just kept the Warriors name though as the rainbow became heavily associated with the LGBT community and wasn't a powerful or intimidating mascot. They eventually reversed this in 2013 as it was now cool to be pro-LGBT and uncool to be avoiding LGBT symbols. Oh who am I kidding, it was because the alumni donors didn't like dropping the rainbow and they will do whatever people pay them to do.

I'm skeptical that you're a founding father.

The NI parliament just gets boycotted by its members, whenever they're trying to get their own way against Westminster, or when they really can't get along with each other, or when they want Westminster to force through a contentious issue (e.g. legalisation of abortion) to avoid losing voters by doing it themselves.

My favourite little known fact about him.

Way back in the 1956, he did the voices of both male leads in the American dub of the original Godzilla!
