March 22, 2023, new DNA analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair reveals he probably died of cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis B, but doesn’t explain his deafness.
Useless information supposed to fire my imagination: March 22, 2023, new DNA analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair reveals he probably died of cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis B, but doesn’t explain his deafness.
They said it: “It’s unfortunate that it looks poorly, but I really had no ill intents.” – Wyndham Clark, who committed a rules infraction in last weekend’s Arnold Palmer Invitational when he grounded his club in the rough, moving his ball. He was not assessed a penalty. Hey, fool me once… but Clark did the same thing in last year’s U.S. Open.

So, let me get this right. The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green is a spokesperson for AT&T? This past winter, the Golden State Warriors star was ejected and suspended twice for violent acts: the first, a chokehold of Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert, leading to a five-game ban; the second, a swinging whack to the jaw of Phoenix’s Jusuf Nurkic, resulting in an indefinite suspension on Dec. 13. The suspension lasted about a month, costing him 12 games. Indefinite suspensions in the NBA are rare, but NBA officials considered Green’s messy history, which includes punching former teammate Jordan Poole during a practice in October 2022 and stomping on the chest of Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis in a playoff game last spring, along with an extensive catalog of technicals and flagrant fouls over the past dozen years. Hey AT&T, that should sell!
The two five-story buildings photographed for Led Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti” album cover are located at 96 and 98 St. Mark’s Place in New York City.

The front doorway and stoop at 96 St. Mark’s Place is also the location used by the Rolling Stones for the music video promoting their single “Waiting on a Friend”, from their 1981 album “Tattoo You”). Whoa…
