This is what I do on snapchat :(

Hogwarts freshmen be like: Excuse me, um, ma'am yes I have a question. Um. Don’t only the witches ride the brooms? I mean - I’m not, y'know. I’m just saying.

Hogwarts freshmen 2: [with a lisp] leviosa! I, no, I have - I have a lisp. I can’t really pronounce things. [still with a lisp] Leviosa! I-I’m trying.

Hogwarts freshmen 3: Now you said the bathrooms were three doors down on your right, right? Well there’s a three headed dog in there. I’m not sure if that’s the ladies room or whatev. Why don’t we have maps?

Hogwarts freshmen 4: waitlisted: Are y'all gonna get anymore owls? Because I mean, yeah, see, he’s too tiny and he’s not as fast - he’s not as cool as, you know, the other owls.

Hogwarts freshmen 5: Hi, do y'all have regular skittles? I mean, I bought some yesterday and all of them turned into birds. I just want REGULAR SKITTLES.

Friend? What is a “friend”? A friend is someone that you’d do anything for. You lend them your cool stuff, like comic books and trading cards. And they never break a promise.

Tree-rings reveal secret clocks that could reset key dates across the ancient world

Oxford University researchers say that trees which grew during intense radiation bursts in the past have ‘time-markers’ in their tree-rings that could help archaeologists date events from thousands of years ago.

In a new paper, the authors explain how harvesting such data could revolutionize the study of ancient civilizations such as the Egyptian and Mayan worlds. Until now scholars have had only vague evidence for dating when events happened during the earliest periods of civilization, with estimates being within hundreds of years. However, the unusually high levels of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 found in tree-rings laid down during the radiation bursts could help reliably pinpoint dates. The distinct spikes act as time-markers like secret clocks contained in timber, papyri, baskets made from living plants or other organic materials, says the paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A.

Scholars believe that intense solar storms caused major bursts of radiation to strike the Earth in 775 and 994 AD, which resulted in distinct spikes in the concentration of radiocarbon in trees growing at that time. Read more.
