Marine Archaeologists are announcing that they think they found Captain James Cook's ship HMS Endeavour. Cook, from England, visited the Hawaiian Islands, calling them the "Sandwich Islands" and went on to be the first Englishman to travel to the east coast of Australia. He also traveled to New Zealand. Killed by native in Hawaii, his crew returned back to England on the HMS Endeavour. Later, the ship was renamed the Lord Sandwich 11 and was used as a prison ship during the American Revolutionary War. It was eventually sunk, in 1778, and archaeologists think they have discovered it off the coast of the state of Rhode Island, in the Narragansett Bay.

Do you like to draw? Scientists say that a stone recently discovered with crisscross red lines, may be the oldest known drawing. Found in a cave in South Africa, the drawing dates back 75,000 years. The tiny lines, made with ochre, were found in the Blombos Cave, about 200 miles from the city of Cape Town, South Africa. The prehistoric lines are about 30,000 years older than any other found to date.

When high school students, in a school in China, returned after vacation, they noticed something missing in the cafeteria...chairs! As part of an experiment to get kids to focus more on their studies, the chairs were removed and students are eating their lunches standing by tables. It is thought that the students won't spend their entire lunch talking and wasting study time if there aren't chairs to make them feel more comfortable. The school feels that most of the students finish their lunch in about ten minutes and just waste the rest of their lunch hour. It is hoped that the students will decide to leave the cafeteria and use the rest of their lunch for studying. What do you think of this idea? Photograph from oddity central
