An amateur archeologist has decoded symbols on Paleolithic cave art that are at least 20,000 years old, dating back to the Gravettian and Solutrean periods of ice age Europe.
The newly deciphered proto-writing system includes a counting system, animal reproductive cycles, and lunar cycles. It predates Middle Eastern proto-writing by over 10,000 years.
"[European] hunter-gatherers were the first to use a systemic calendar and marks to record information about major ecological events within that calendar"

TIL Warren Buffett bought Berkshire Hathaway purely out of spite. In the 60s it was a failing textiles company which he wanted to sell his stake in. When its president lowballed him, he bought the whole company just to fire him. In 2010, he said it was the biggest investment mistake he ever made.
