The Yankees come into this Game trying to avoid their tenth straight loss, but they are a pretty heavy favorite to get the win here.

The Nationals are starting MacKenzie Gore, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. New York is starting Luis Severino, who has allowed 21 earned runs in his last four starts. Severino has been horrible for the Yankees, so I will gladly take the Nationals here.

Dunkleosteus, one of the largest and most hazardous sharks, was discovered in its bones 380 million years ago

Image
The marine Animals of the Devonian period, over 100 million years before the first dinosaurs, tended to be small and meek, but Dunkleosteus was the exception that proved the rule. This huge (about 30 feet long and three or four tons), armor-covered prehistoric fish was probably the largest vertebrate of its day, and almost certainly the largest fish of the Devonian seas. Reconstructions can be a bit fanciful, but Dunkleosteus likely resembled a large , underwater tank, with a thick body, bulging head, and massive, toothless jaws. Dunkleosteus wouldn’t have had to be a particularly good swimmer, since its bony armor would have been sufficient defense against the smaller, predatory sharks and fish of its briny habitat, such as Cladoselache. Because so many fossils of Dunkleosteus have been discovered, paleontologists know a good deal about the behavior and physiology of this prehistoric fish. For example, there’s some evidence that individuals of this genus occ...

And by the 18th century, most puddings did not even include meat. These dishes were typically boiled but also started to be steamed as well. In modern times, however, puddings can also be baked, though this would not have been the traditional. Today, the idea of pudding is almost exclusive...
