ALIEN-LIKE FIGURINE RAISES QUESTIONS

Figurine of alien

(FOX NEWS) – A strange alien-like clay head dating back
thousands of years has been retrieved from an excavation
in Kuwait, stumping archaeologists about how it came to
be.

In a Nov. 28 press release published by the University of
Warsaw, the school explained that researchers from the
Kuwaiti-Polish Archaeological Mission found the artifact
in Bahra 1, an archaeological site in the Subiya region of
Kuwait.

The press release called the artifact "one of the most
remarkable" discoveries of the excavation.

The figurine dates back to the Ubaid period of ancient
Mesopotamia, which predated the Bronze Age.

Archaeologists estimate that the artifact was crafted
during the 6th millennium BCE, making it between 7,000
and 8,000 years old.

OREGON CITY, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon City Police Department
is mourning the loss of its first narcotics detection dog, K9 Grendel,
who passed away after a sudden diagnosis of cancer.

K9 Grendel was taken to an emergency veterinarian, where it was determined he was suffering from internal bleeding due to cancer.

After consulting with the doctor and considering all options, the
difficult decision was made to put him down.

K9 Grendel joined the department nine years ago and was partnered
with Officer Pohl. He quickly became a beloved member of the department and was known for his dedication to the Oregon City community.

Over the years, K9 Grendel and Officer Pohl formed an exceptional
team, playing a crucial role in locating dangerous drugs, including significant amounts of fentanyl. Their efforts were instrumental in removing numerous drug dealers from the streets, contributing to
the safety of Oregon City and the surrounding metro area.

SKATER ATTACKED ON THIS DAY IN 1994

Figure Skating Scandal! Man clubs Nancy Kerrigan: Olympic favorite's knee  is injured in maniac's attack – New York Daily News


Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan was attacked at a Detroit
ice rink following a practice session two days before the
Olympic trials. A man hit Kerrigan with a club on the back
of her knee, causing the figure skater to cry out in pain and bewilderment. When the full story emerged a week later,
the nation became caught up in a real-life soap opera.

One of Kerrigan’s chief rivals for a place on the U.S. Figure
Skating Team was
Tonya Harding. In mid-December 1993,
Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, approached Shawn
Eckardt about somehow eliminating Kerrigan from the
competition. Eckardt set up a meeting with Derrick Smith
and Shane Stant, who agreed to injure Kerrigan for a fee.
