Fossils uncovered in Transylvania were found to be a never-before-seen creature that lived 70 million years ago. The turtle’s closest relative is a species that lived 57 million years ago—meaning the seven inch long reptile dubbed Dortoka vremiri lived through the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction 66 million years ago. This event, which wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs, was triggered by a massive asteroid hitting Earth. It killed off around 75 percent of all species on Earth....

Dubbed “Skin II,” the leotard-like garment has integrated live healthy probiotic bacteria that, when activated by sweat, reportedly reduce body odor, encourage cell renewal and improve the immune system. “It’s not the sweat on your body that causes body odor, it’s the bacteria,” designer Rosie Broadhead told Reuters. “So we’ve incorporated healthy bacteria into the textiles to enable a healthy microbiome which will help to reduce your body odor,”...

The original Fright Night came out in 1985, starring Chris Sarandon and directed by Tom Holland. Not to be confused with the actor behind the MCU’s Spider-Man, Holland is best known as the director of a number of Stephen King adaptations, including Thinner. The remake, released in 2011 was directed by Craig Gillespie, who went on to helm Cruella. RELATED: Was The Friday The 13th Remake As Bad As Everyone Remembers?...

One possible way to do that is by getting paid for your data. Companies like Invisibly provide a way for you to cash in on the data others already are using to target you with ads. It’s better than the alternative of companies using your data and you getting nothing at all, but in the even bigger picture, having more control over your data, who uses it, and how it’s used against you is an important topic to consider....

The Argentina legend ended a long-running saga by putting pen to paper on a new contract on Saturday, with the deal containing a €700million buyout clause.

But the four-time Champions League winner, who will be 34 when his latest contract expires, said he was “very happy” to remain with the club he joined as a 13-year-old....

The user, u/whosedogisitanyway, posted their story on the subreddit r/AmITheA**hole. In their description, they noted stumbling upon a scruffy dog. Legally, the Reddit user was allowed to keep the dog for one week. This time period allowed anyone to come forward and claim the dog. But no one did. So, the user adopted the dog. Nine months later, the real owner spoke out. The new owner shared a photo of their newly-adopted dog on a public Facebook page....

Resident Evil Resistance was originally revealed by leaks back in August, with no information at the time of when it would release.

Robotic Third Eye Lets You Walk and Text Worry-Free Walking and texting can be just as dangerous as texting and driving. This robotic eye is a unique solution to the dangers posed by distracted walking—although simply looking up from your phone might be a better idea. The device was designed by Minwook Paeng, an industrial design student at London’s Royal College of Art and Imperial College. His goal was to show how humans are evolving into “phono sapiens....

While his contributions to the horror genre are undeniable, his prowess in the genres of action and sci-fi should not be overlooked. In fact, it could be argued that one of his best features falls into the latter genre. They Live debuted in 1988 and has since become an iconic piece of film history not only for its storyline and interesting effects and visuals but for its scathing political commentary on capitalism and consumerism....

A paper published this month in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, led by University of Essex psychology researcher Wijnand Van Tilburg, surveyed over 500 people across five experiments about what makes a person boring.

Participants ranked data analysis, accounting, taxes or insurance, cleaning and banking as the most boring occupations....

The problem is that none of those games are truly able to capture what made New Vegas special. Here are some of the alternatives, and why fans are unlikely to be satisfied until a New Vegas sequel is released....

I’m for anything that has fewer of these military style weapons in the hands of civilians. Our current experiment of making America awash in guns at all times, at all places, for all people has been a disaster. I’m very slow about accusing people of racism. I’m for regulating those guns, and I don’t think I’m a racist, and I don’t think people who are supporting that are doing so out of some kind of a racial animus....

The Badgers had the win well in hand, leading 42-21 as Wake Forest drove down the field in the final seconds. Cameras were fixed on Wisconsin players as they prepared to drench head coach Paul Chryst with a postgame victory bath in the big Duke’s Mayo Bowl jar.

The study, published on February 22 in the journal Cancer, shows that as much as 17% of two types of cancer of the esophagus and larynx are associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). While GERD is already a known risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, one of the cancers examined in the study, researchers sought to corroborate this finding and learn more about why. “We found that GERD was associated with an increased risk of esophageal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas,” Christian C....

Ten conservative members of the House backed the resolution. Its passage makes Trump the first commander-in-chief in U.S. history to be impeached twice. Trump was impeached just a week before he is due to leave office.

Five people died in the riot, including one law enforcement officer....

Here are four franchises whose playoff droughts exceed the Sixers’ four seasons. MORE: The 23 most-hated NBA players of all time Phoenix Suns The Suns have been one of the more consistent NBA franchises over the past 30 years or so, until lately. From the 1988-89 season through the 2009-10 season, the Suns missed the playoffs just three times. But since falling to Kobe Bryant’s Laker squad in that 2009-10 season, the Suns haven’t been back to the playoffs....

The Emmett Till Antilynching Act [HR 55], named after the Black 14-year-old who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955, was introduced by Rep. Bobby L. Rush.

The dismissal puts Putin at a significant crossroads. Russian law says he must name a new government within two weeks; his choice will be a strong indication of where the former KGB colonel wants to take the country–toward a free-market democracy or a capitalist but authoritarian state. Leading candidates for the post include men who served with Putin in the Soviet secret police as well as reformers from his hometown of St....
