    The three musical notes that have identified NBC for so long are not without significance. They are the notes G, E, and C which are the first letters of each word in the name of the majority owner company -- General Electric Corporation.

    From 1725 to 1765, a Russian peasant woman, the wife of Feodor Vassilyev, gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets--a total of 69 children!

    In 2004, on the island of Flores in Indonesia, a team of Australian and Indonesian researchers discovered the remains of a hobbit-sized human, one that stood no more than a meter tall. Remarkable, these researchers determined that this new species of human lived as recently as 13,000 years ago, shattering the long-held belief that Homo sapiens have had the planet to themselves for the past 25,000 years.

    This hominin had originally been considered remarkable for its survival until relatively recent times, only 12,000 years ago.[7] However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work has pushed the dating of the most recent evidence of its existence back to 50,000 years ago.[8][9][10] The Homo floresiensis skeletal material is now dated from 60,000 to 100,000 years ago; stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 50,000 to 190,000 years ago.[1]
