In 1992, the Ubykh language, spoken by a people on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, became extinct.
The language consisted of about 83 consonants and only two vowels. It was not a written language, but linguists have saved a lot of sound recordings and notes about Ubykh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubykh_language Markus

Meanwhile,.. When in doubt, fry it. -Scrapple is usually a breakfast meat. Served with fried eggs. If you like catsup on your eggs, it goes well with Scrapple and ground pepper. If you like eggs and maple syrup, it also goes well with Scrapple. Keep your Scrapple refrigerated just prior to slicing. -Yes, there really is an Intercourse, Pennsylvania. |

The C-130 aircraft holds the record for the longest continuously produced military aircraft in the world. More than 60 years and they are still building them.
An extra Kelly Johnson told Lockheed management that if they invested in the C-130 project that it would result in the end of the company... can't win them all.
