#E135 (ergonovine to ERISA)


Listen Later

I read from ergonovine to ERISA.

 

 

In the mid-100s, the Erie people were almost completely exterminated because of 5 years of fighting with the Iroquois.

Eris, the Dwarf Planet, is named after Eris, the Greek Goddess, because "'Eris caused strife and discord by causing quarrels among people,' said Brown in 2006, 'and that's what this one has done too.'"
