If your friend truly had your back, they would be there for you 24,0000006/7/365,242189! Quick trip down memory lane; George Washington was born on February 22nd 1732 - at least that's what we're told - however, his family Bible says he was born on February 11th 173(1/2) so which is it mister "I cannot tell a lie"?

Reconciling both of these things has led to some pretty strange things.

Breaking Barriers: The Historic Encounter — Scientists Engage in the First-Ever Conversation with Whales

Twain echoed back distinct calls and moved about in response to the whale sound recordings. This incredible milestone is already making waves in the scientific community — especially in animal behavior and astrobiology.
