Rosie The Riveter Was Born On This Day In 1920 - Or Not
Rosie The Riveter was born on this day in 1920.
Well, one of them.
And maybe on this day. All of those diet claims about centenarians and their lifestyles could be suspect if so many are fraud or clerical error the data are meaningless. No one is even sure when Rose Will Leigh, the original archetype for "Rosie the Riveter", was born.
The B-24 Liberator bomber consisted of 450,000 parts held together by 360,000 rivets of 550 different sizes. It weighed 18 tons. During World War II, Henry Ford's Willow Run plant in Michigan produced 8,685 of them, thanks to 42,000 employees working around the clock.

Long Before The Inca Colonized Peru, Natives Had A Thriving Trade Network
A new DNA analysis reveals that long before the Incan Empire took over Peru, animals were being transported across the Andes, a trek that also involved rainforests, highlands and deserts.
The analysis was of parrot feathers discovered at Pachacamac, Peru, a religious hub that is far outside the birds’ native rainforest range. The burial feather assemblage included the Scarlet Macaw, Blue-and-yellow Macaw, Red-and-green Macaw and Mealy Amazon. DNA sequencing, isotope chemistry and computational landscape modeling says the western side of the Andes was just as inhospitable to these species one thousand years ago as it is today.
