Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, best known for starring in the 2007 indie darling “Once” and winning an Oscar for “Falling Slowly,” the film’s original song along with co-star Markéta Irglová, has died. He was 56.

I remember watching TheOsbourne’s back in the day, when I was in Middle School. I loved how Ozzy would mess around and get confused by the universal remote control (clicker).

These ancient carvings were discovered across three separate landmasses divided by enormous oceans.
The three figures shown here come from cultures separated by thousands of miles and, in some cases, separated by thousands of years.
The Gobustan petroglyphs in Azerbaijan date back roughly 10,000 to 5,000 years, the carvings in Japan’s Fugoppe Cave were created around AD 200 to 400, and the famous winged figure in Utah is generally linked to the Fremont culture, dating to approximately AD 950 to 1250.
Despite their striking similarities, archaeologists have found no evidence that these societies ever interacted. The resemblance is usually explained as a case of convergent artistic expression — different cultures independently developing similar symbols to represent spiritual beings, ceremonial figures, ritual leaders, or sources of power.
Although the images appear remarkably alike, they are generally viewed as separate creations rather than evidence of a shared civilization or ancient contact across oceans.
