In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, showed up in work boots to compete in Australia’s toughest ultramarathon alongside elite athletes. Unaware that competitors were meant to sleep during the race, he kept running continuously. Against all expectations, he won by a margin of 10 hours. In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, arrived at the start of the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon looking entirely out of place. The race, stretching nearly 600 miles across Australia, was typically reserved for elite endurance athletes with specialized training, equipment, and support teams. Cliff turned up in loose overalls and rubber work boots, and most observers assumed he would not even make it through the first day. Yet Cliff had spent much of his life herding sheep on his family farm, often covering long distances on foot for hours at a time. His running style was nothing like the others—short, shuffling, and unorthodox—but it was steady and relentless. Crucially, he was unaware of the standard race strategy, where competitors ran in long shifts and then slept for several hours. Cliff simply kept moving. While the favorites stopped to rest, he continued through the night. As the days passed, it became clear he was not just surviving the race—he was leading it. Spectators began lining the route to watch the slow, determined figure pass mile after mile. After 5 days, 15 hours, and 4 minutes, Cliff Young crossed the finish line in first place, finishing about 10 hours ahead of his nearest competitor and shattering the previous record by nearly two days. When he learned there was prize money, he reportedly gave it away to the other runners, saying they had all worked just as hard. His distinctive running style later became known as the “Young Shuffle.” Initially mocked, it was eventually studied by ultramarathon athletes for its efficient, energy-conserving motion over extreme distances.

Imagine a man so brilliant that 2,200 years later, we still speak his name with awe. A man so ingenious to build pumps for irrigation still used today, mirrors that could burn ships at a distance and much more. His name was Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287–212 BC). Born in the ancient Greek city-state of Syracuse in Sicily, this legendary mathematician, physicist, and inventor didn’t just study the world, he bent it to his will. He calculated π with astonishing precision using the “method of exhaustion,” proved that a sphere’s volume is exactly two-thirds of its surrounding cylinder (a discovery he cherished above all others), and laid the earliest foundations of calculus centuries before Newton. He also wrote The Sand Reckoner, where he devised a system for expressing extremely large numbers and estimated how many grains of sand would fill the universe. One day, while stepping into his bath, he discovered the principle of buoyancy, now known as Archimedes’ Principle, and famously ran naked through the streets shouting “EUREKA!” (“I have found it!”). He gave us the law of the lever, boldly declaring: “Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough, and I shall move the Earth.” But Archimedes wasn’t just a thinker. He was a genius inventor. He created the Archimedes Screw, a revolutionary water pump still used around the world today. He designed powerful compound pulleys and cranes. And when the Roman army besieged Syracuse during the Second Punic War, he became a one-man defense force, engineering devastating catapults and the fearsome “Claw of Archimedes,” a massive crane that lifted enemy ships out of the water and smashed them against the rocks. Ancient writings even credit him with inventing burning mirrors, giant arrays of polished bronze that focused the sun’s rays to set Roman warships ablaze from afar. While historians still debate the exact details, modern experiments have proven the idea is scientifically possible under the right conditions. In 212 BC, when Roman forces finally breached the city, General Marcellus gave strict orders: spare Archimedes. Yet as the great thinker sat drawing mathematical diagrams in the sand, a Roman soldier killed him. His last words? “Do not disturb my circles!” His surviving works shaped Galileo, Leibniz, Newton, and the entire Scientific Revolution. He remains one of the greatest minds humanity has ever produced — a bridge between ancient genius and modern science.

@archeohistories Looks like a dude with a third leg about to get it on with a giant cockroach. The height of fashion, whatever.

A 1st Century BC, Roman Intaglio Ring, made from carnelian, is a small but highly detailed work of art... The depiction of a dwarf killing a grasshopper is a specific and somewhat enigmatic motif. While the exact meaning is open to interpretation, it likely carries a symbolic message related to triumph or the overcoming of a minor nuisance. In Roman culture, dwarfs were often depicted in a satirical or comedic light, but they were also a source of fascination. The grasshopper, in some contexts, could symbolize a plague, a pest, or a minor irritant. The image may therefore be a playful or humorous representation of overcoming a small but annoying problem. The ring's material, carnelian, was a popular choice for intaglios due to its beautiful reddish-orange color and durability. Its semi-translucent quality gives the carving a rich depth when viewed in light. Dating from the Roman Republican Period (1st century BC), the ring is a valuable piece of historical evidence, offering a glimpse into the tastes, humor, and daily life of the Roman elite. It is currently held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston. #archaeohistories

@Angels @PechangaCasino Worst team in baseball thanks to Arte Moreno and Perry Minasian. Kurt Suzuki has no business managing a major league team but it's hard to consider the Angels as major league.

screen time 📱 #WallpaperWednesday x @PechangaCasino

@SamBlum3 They've been in an unlucky cold stretch for 15 years. Suzuki has no business being a manager. Moreno went shopping on TEMU and found him.

I asked Kurt Suzuki about the Angels' 16-28 record. Is it just a regular cold stretch? Or is it reflective of where they're at as an organization — losers year after year? His answer? Just an unlucky cold stretch. Full response:

@jasrifootball @The_Wenzel_Per I would put Nix, Williams, and Dart over Prescott.

@KTLA LA should be one of the greatest cities in the world but it's become one of the worst, especially under Bass who has proven to be incompetent. Since she's been in office even the rich and famous have become victims of the rampant crime. That should seal her fate.

Incumbent Karen Bass appears to be holding her lead in the primary election for Los Angeles mayor as main challengers Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman also pick up support. ktla.com/news/local-new…

@ufc @Josh_HokitUFC @paramountplus Everyone talking shit about how embarrassing Hokit's mouth is, is retarded. Lewis takes off his shorts after a fight, says his balls are hot and that's OK. None of these fighters are going to cure cancer, they're promoting controlled violence for money.

"AM I RIGHT, NEW JERSEY?!" - @Josh_HokitUFC [ #UFCWhiteHouse | JUNE 14 | LIVE on @ParamountPlus ]

@KTLA She's worthless and corrupt. LA is a shit hole and has gotten worse with her as mayor. She doesn't support the police and neither does the city council. It took the Feds to clear out MacArthur Park of drug activity. But the LA voters get what they deserve.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has withdrawn from a televised L.A. mayoral candidate forum scheduled for May 13, according to a statement released Friday by the League of Women Voters of Greater Los Angeles and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs. ktla.com/news/local-new…
