Field of dreams: the world of championship wrestling

Article Abstract:

Australia's professional wrestling league has had many colorful characters and is still popular in the 1990s. Wrestlers like Teddy Whitten and Mario Milano made wrestling exciting in the 1970s. Those retired wrestlers became, for the most part, forgotten men. 1990s wrestlers such as "Mad Max" Miller, Larry Rhino, and Matt Rot continue the entertainment, which is part fake and part real.

The rag and bone people

Article Abstract:

A fossilized jawbone approximately three-quarters of an inch long suggests how mammals developed in Australia. Dated at more than 110 mil years old, and discovered southeast of Melbourne, the bone suggests the existence of a placental mammal. If this is true, mammal appearance might eventually be placed at more than 100 mil years earlier than is currently thought.
