*"Billy Graham, powerful evangelist whose simple message reached millions,
dies at 99.
The Rev. Billy Graham was anxious about his 1954 appearance at the London
School of Economics. The school was left-leaning and openly dismissive of
religion, and Graham was insecure — he had no advanced theology degree.
After he was introduced, something happened that could have derailed the
already nervous evangelist. A student leapt into the room through a window and
started scratching himself like an ape, clearly mocking the fundamentalist
rejection of evolution.
The preacher didn’t miss a beat. He laughed and joked, “He reminds me of my
ancestors,” then paused and added, “Of course, all my ancestors came from
Britain.” The crowd roared, then listened respectfully to his speech."

*"2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed, priced from $188,550. The 911 GT2 RS
may be the top of the 911 pecking order but Porsche hasn't forgotten about the
equally drool-worthy 911 GT3 RS.
The German firm has been developing a few tweaks for its naturally aspirated
track star, and now the updated car has been revealed ahead of the formal debut
next month at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. The car is due in
showrooms in the fall, as a 2019 model."

*"Elon Musk’s Boring Company gets preliminary permit for NYC-DC Hyperloop.
A 29-minute trip from D.C. to New York may seem too good to be true. And it
very well may be. But that isn’t stopping Elon Musk from pushing forward with
plans to build a Hyperloop along the eastern corridor.
And while it’s a very small, very vague step forward, Musk’s Boring Company has
received a permit for preparation and preliminary excavation of a site in the
nation’s capital. The exact location is 53 New York Avenue NE, next to a
McDonald’s and near the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,
according to The Washington Post.
