yes- i will accept that



In 2004, on the island of Flores in Indonesia, a team of Australian and Indonesian researchers discovered the remains of a hobbit-sized human, one that stood no more than a meter tall. Remarkable, these researchers determined that this new species of human lived as recently as 13,000 years ago, shattering the long-held belief that Homo sapiens have had the planet to themselves for the past 25,000 years.

At game time the official temperature was -13°F (-25°C), with a wind chill of -48°F (-44°C). The playing field was as hard as a rock and almost as smooth as a hockey rink as the cold temperatures overwhelmed the new turf heating system at the stadium.
