First Pluto, now George?

About a couple of months ago, the science community shocked me with the news that Pluto would no longer be considered a planet. It is strange to have my childhood knowledge rewritten. Seriously, who here when asked how many planets are in our solar system jumps straight to the number 8, NO ONE! We all still think, oh nine.

Well, science again is shaking up American History. The face that we picture when we think of George Washington is no longer considered accurate.

George as we think of him:














What forensic scientist now believe he looked like:

Yes take out your 1 dollar bills and say goodbye to the face of George Washington. What next, Abe Lincoln didn't have a beard? The Lochness Monster has been found?

Ok. So not a monumental change in my life. But it is just strange. I'd love to see what other people think. I think the new George is kinda handsome. And it is kinda creepy to think this isn't a painting. I saw something on the Discovery channel where they did this to Tutankhmun (King Tut), it was real creepy too, and they found out that he died because of infection. Weird.

What a changing world we live in. Amazing.

But I am wondering, will I still be able to help my kids with their homework?
