...'Sup my Cowboy Homies...
Life is strange, and so are the days of our lives!...Each Weekday (hopefully before noon,)
I will post a little strange for that day; some are historically strange, but all are at least slightly strange...

...Today in Strangeness: June 6th...
On this day, Susan B. Anthony was fined for trying to vote (1872). Three 50-pound snapping turtles were found in a Bronx, New York sewage treatment plant on this date in 1988. City workers suspected they'd been house pets flushed down the toilet years before.
...also...
As we approach the 40th anniversary of the legendary 'Wow!' signal, a new study appears to have finally determined its origin.
The puzzling radio signal has vexed scientists after it was noticed in August of 1977 by a radio astronomer, who noted its anomalous nature by scribbling the word 'Wow!' next to it in his notes.
Since that time, researchers have attempted to decipher the source of the signal, but continually fell short when it came to solving the mystery.
However, a newly-published, peer-reviewed paper by astronomer Antonio Paris may close the case for good.
Last year, Paris proposed the hypothesis that the signal emanated from a comet, which was not discovered until 2006, that had been passing through the area observed by the radio telescope.
