In April, a man in the Shetland Islands found a message in a bottle that has recently been certified as the oldest one ever found.  It spent 98 years floating before it was pulled from the sea.  Have you ever found and/or responded to a message in a bottle?  (National Geographic)

I found this Cracked list to be more than funny. I found it to be adorable while also making me feel like I haven't really made my obsessions work for me. I'm still not married to John Krasinski, if you'll notice! (Cracked)

Of course there is a site dedicated to old school gaming trivia! If you think you're a hardcore gamer of the days of yore, think again. (Did You Know Gaming via Neatorama)

By now you have probably seen the touching farewell given to Kristen Wiig by Saturday Night Live. It was really sweet! Here are the Top 5 SNL Departures. (BuzzFeed)

I never really stop to think about the types of things that are fossilized. I always thought only bones and the occasional mosquito trapped in amber were the only things found while digging for fossils. So an ink sac? With soft ink still instead? That blows my little mind with awesome. (National Geographic)
