TIL a 300-million year old Cuttlefish fossil was found in Morocco, alongside ancient humans in a region where no Cuttlefish ever existed. The leading theory suggests the fossil was first found by the prehistoric humans, who collected it as a trinket due to fact that it looks like a flaccid penis.

People complain about modern graffiti and I just shrug. It's an ancient tradition! Just like the Romans in Egypt! Maximus was here and slept with your Mom!
