DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!

No matter what…

Be positive.

Yes life isn’t always a bowl of cherries, but so what?

You could have a bowl of cherries right now if you wanted it…

but you don’t… and why? Because of the pits.

Even a bowl of cherries has a down side if you look for it.

So be positive!

Because tomorrow you might die suddenly and unexpectedly…

And if you have not been positive those around you will say that you didn’t really like it here anyway…

Be Positive!

Because even when things are bad they could be much worse

So be positive!

Because the universe doesn’t actually care if you are not happy

So be positive!

Because it doesn’t matter if you are not.

So you might as well just look on the bright side…

After all, there are things to look forward to.

And a great number of those things are about to come your way

On this week in science…

Coming up next.

First up, some science news!

Neanderthal Tech

Neanderthals were no saps, but they used pine sap or resin as a glue for their tools.

Mammals were all that and a bag of chips while T-rex was still roaming

Mammalian radiation and domination didn’t wait for dinosaurs to go extinct, according to new fossil evidence.
