This day in 1992 saw the passing of the great Willie Dixon, brilliant bluesman and songwriter. Here he is singing a song dedicated to Ehab.
Yep. The missus and I would probably put her in our collective top ten singers. Lilac Wine still gives me shivers -- the song, not the girly drink ...

Anyone we know? Man's oldest ancestor: Bag-like creature with huge mouth and no anus please log in to view this image This bag-like sea creature lived 540 million years ago. Credit: University of Cambridge/PA Wire Humankind evolved from a bag-like sea creature which had a large mouth and no anus, scientists have said. The microscopic creature, named Saccorhytus, lived 540 million years ago, and was discovered in microfossils found in China. About a millimetre in size, scientists believe it ate by engulfing food particles and got around by wriggling. But scientists were unable to find any evidence the animal had an anus. Simon Conway Morris, of the University of Cambridge, said: "If that was the case, then any waste material would simply have been taken out back through the mouth, which from our perspective sounds rather unappealing." http://www.itv.com/news/2017-01-30/...ag-like-creature-with-huge-mouth-and-no-anus/
