Gorilla Glue meet your Daddy

Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa have discovered a sophisticated stone-age "superglue" that was used to make and reinforce tools:

Stone Age humans... knowingly tweaked the chemical and physical properties of an iron-containing pigment known as red ochre with the gum of acacia trees to create adhesives for their shafted tools.

Archaeologists had believed the blood-red pigment--used by people in what is now South Africa about 70,000 years ago--served a decorative or symbolic purpose.

But the scientists had also suspected that the pigment may have been purposely added to improve glue that held the peoples' tools together.

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

If you have a set plan for how you want this day to go, you should immediately toss it out the window!
If you are open to a last-minute postponement today, you will definitely not be disappointed.
Things such as romance, excitement and adventure have a way of showing up when it's least convenient -- but that doesn't mean you shouldn't rearrange your entire day to accommodate it!
You have the flexibility you need to put things off for another day.

All righty then.
