Little bit o’ news

Dec 13th, 2008
by David Faroz Precht.

Some brain tissue was found by a team excavating at York University.  The “brain-shaped”, “yellow substance” is believed to be dated back around 300 B.C., roughtly the end of the ‘Iron Age’.
I’m rather fond of the linked article as opposed to what I found at CNN Europe because, well, there’s more there.  The CNN article took up about a page while this is more like two.  This isn’t news about the news, but it’s still valid.  CNN tries it’s best to distill the news down into bite-sized chunks without much adherence to the journalistic pyramid form.  Plus, that graphic is rad.
