And reliable temperature measurements for Dec 31, 11:59:59.999999
Therefore we can determine the average temp for the entire year.

Several were interesting. The only one which really surprised me was the one about Moby Dick.
Probably the least surprising was the one about Cleopatra. The ancient Greeks considered the pyramids as ancient.

The pyramids were already ancient when Christ walked the earth.

I think they are overselling this a little with the title, but I really had no idea that whales lived that long.

No, 9 pm on the first week. And if there have been a little over 300,000 weeks, you end up with man appearing well before 1 am on the 24 hour compression.

They missed the coolest thing about time. Our perception of time slows when we feel danger. A scientist gave people a wrist device with a 3 digit LED repeating number on it. However a random changing patterned flashed most of the time and it was impossible to read the number.
Once the scientist verified that they could not read the number he pushed them backwards off a 30 or so foot ledge with a large net to catch them. He asked them to try and read the numbers on the way down. Everyone was able to read the number on the way down. Even though they assumed the fall was safe, their adrenaline spiked and their heart-rates increased. They experienced fear and their sense of time slowed.
I experienced the same thing during a motorcycle accident (my bike slid out from underneath me, rainy day and I braked to hard, bad decision on my part). As I was flipping along the ground I wondered why the flips were taking so long, I was analyzing how to not hurt myself more I had to and watched a car drive by. During the middle of a flip I got mad because the passengers turned their heads to watch the accident and were not stopping. I actually shot them a bird during one of my flips.
