...third of the artichoke with a serrated knife. If you'd like, snip off the pointy tips of the outermost large leaves. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and slip in the lemon halves and the prepared artichokes. Weight the artichokes down with a heatproof plate to keep them submerged as they cook. Boil until the bottom of the artichoke is tender when poked with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on size. To serve and eat the artichoke, remove the artichokes from the boiling water with a slotted spoon...
...small monkey, is astonishingly complete. "Most of what we understand about primate evolution is pieced together from bits of teeth and jaws," says Michael Novacek, curator of paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History.

Not only that: you can see impressions of its fur in the surrounding material, and there are even the remains of what was presumably Ida's final meal (leaves and fruit) still visible where the digestive tract used...

None of that is Mexico's fault either. In fact, since human tourists and domesticated animals cross into Mexico all the time, there's every reason to believe that the progenitor virus behind the epidemic hitched a ride in one of them...
...figuratively. “I’ve had pretty big dreams about running for a long time and they are starting to come true, so it’s very exciting for me,” he said. “I hope that this performance is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, except a good iceberg.” Remaining modest, Gillepsie also emphasized how although his performance is starting to peak, what’s more important is that the team’s performance is hitting its stride.“We are starting...
