“Raise hell. Praise Dale” is not an appropriate response when we ask you why you were speeding.

A 162-year-old bottle of Guinness has been recovered from a shipwreck, with scientists hoping DNA preserved inside the beer could help recreate the original 1864 recipe.

NEW: UNLV's Dan Mullen comments on Florida's success since his departure: "I think three out of my four years, we would have made the College Football Playoff. Maybe that would have looked a little bit different back then with the resume, keeping me around a little bit longer to try to try to go win that national title. But hey, it is what it is. Probably hasn’t gone as well there since I left, it doesn’t seem like." (via @finebaum) on3.com/news/dan-mullen-end-…

June 5, 1944. 3:30am. Eisenhower woke to howling wind and hard rain. At 4:15am, in a water-soaked tent, his meteorologist James Stagg told him: there's a 24-hour break in the storm coming. One window. Miss it, and the next date is June 19. He had 5,000 ships and 160,000 men already moving toward France. He said: "OK. Let's go." That evening at 8:30pm, he drove to Greenham Common to stand among the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne. He had just been privately briefed they could expect 80% casualties. He didn't show it. He walked through the crowd, shaking hands, asking names, asking where men were from. One soldier, Lt. Wallace Strobel, said Michigan. Eisenhower smiled. "Oh, Michigan. I used to fish there. Great fishing in Michigan." Witnesses said his eyes were wet when he got back in the car. That night, alone, he wrote four sentences and stuffed the paper in his pocket: "Our landings have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone." He misdated it "July 5." His mind was somewhere else. Meanwhile, across the Channel, Field Marshal Rommel was in his staff car rolling through Germany toward home. His wife Lucie was turning 50 tomorrow. He had brought her a pair of shoes from Paris. The Germans had no Atlantic weather stations. Their meteorologists had told high command: no invasion is possible in this weather. Rommel genuinely believed they had weeks. The paratroopers jumped at midnight.
