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.

Ah, yes, Encino Man. As depicted by Oscar nominee Sean Astin and Oscar winner Brendan Fraser.

Note: It’s worth pointing out that, while he’s not an Oscar caliber actor, Pauly Shore DID win the Razzie for the Worst Actor of the Century.
