From the Wikipedia article linked below:

A rotor ship is a type of ship designed to use the Magnus effect for propulsion. The ship is propelled, at least in part, by large powered vertical rotors, sometimes known as rotor sails. German engineer Anton Flettner was the first to build a ship that attempted to tap this force for propulsion, and ships using his type of rotor are sometimes known as Flettner ships.

It didn't need sequels or a TV show, and it darn sure doesn't need a reboot. No thanks, Hank.

Drew Carey had some material about this. I don't remember the whole bit, but part of it was about how after puberty, all your zits migrate down your back to your ass. 😆

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_writing#Inventions_of_writing

According to the article, experts currently believe that writing was invented independently at least four times:

  • Mesopotamia (between 3400 and 3100 BCE)
  • Egypt (around 3250 BCE)
  • China (1200 BCE)
  • Mesoamerica (by 500 BCE)

There is still debate around Rongorongo script and Vinča symbols, since no is sure if they are actually writing systems.

I was going to include the link to the Verge article but I got an error message when posting and I thought it hadn't gone through. Apologies!
