July 22nd: On this date...

... in 1998, your University of Kentucky Wildcats pulled a fast one on the Utes with a bet of epic proportions. After the Cats took down Utah in the National Championship, 78-69, the Utah Geological Survey had to send a 550 million year-old fossil to the Kentucky Geological Survey. What both parties didn't realize, though, is that all they did was exchange a weathered pet rock from a kid in Utah. The fossil was concentrated on a slab of Limestone. Interesting. What's the big news in Lexington today? A section of South Limestone will be closed for the next year due to construction. I wonder who's laughing now?
