Reply to TIL that, to prove that a jellyfish caused Irukandji syndrome, a scientist stung himself, his son, and a lifeguard with the jellyfish. by SabreYT
Imagine being a lifeguard, watching the seas, minding your own business and some mad bastard comes up to you and slaps you with a jellyfish to prove some scientific theory.

Reply to comment by tsrich in Dozens of pre-Hispanic Zapotec tombs found in San Pedro Nexicho in Mexico by MeatballDom
Pre-Hispanic has been a term for a long time, at least since I was in undergrad over 10 years ago. Plus it makes better sense since Columbus never set foot in Mexico. He mapped the coastline of the Gulf and some Central American countries, but his impact and importance in Mexican history pales in proportion to the Spanish. Hence, pre-Hispanic.
