The great Robert Palmer passed away on this day in 2003 from a heart attack at the age of 54.
He began his career at age fifteen with the band The Mandrakes, with whom he opened for artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, and The Who.

🚨 Your Fingers Are Smarter Than You Think…
Think your fingers wrinkle because they soak up water? That’s a myth.
After a few minutes underwater, your autonomic nervous system quietly tells blood vessels in your fingertips to tighten. This shrinks the skin from underneath—creating wrinkles on purpose.
Even more surprising? Doctors use this as a quick nerve test. No wrinkles can signal a problem.
And those lines aren’t random… studies in Biology Letters show they actually help you grip wet objects better—like built-in traction.
So those wrinkled fingers?
Not a flaw… a hidden advantage.
