The Office is one of the biggest sitcoms of modern times, and part of that is thanks to Steve Carell as the titular, socially unaware office boss, Michael Scott. The series—filmed mockumentary style—follows the insane lives of a group of paper company employees at Dunder Mifflin. The Office , created by Greg Daniels, ran for nine seasons from 2005 until 2013, cataloging 205 episodes. One of the most emotional moments in the series came during Michael Scott’s farewell in Season 7 (although he briefly returned for the series finale). The crew wanted to properly honor Carell and all the hard work he put into bringing Michael Scott to life, but they wanted it to be authentic.

Fran Drescher first rose to prominence while starring on the hit CBS sitcom The Nanny , which ran for six seasons between 1993 and 1999. Unfortunately for her, this newfound fame also came with some unwanted attention. Before long, Drescher became the target of a stalker who was harassing her and her family by sending them letters and repeatedly calling them on the phone. The man would reportedly hang around outside Drescher’s house and was even spotted near the CBS compound. Drescher grew increasingly fearful of what the man might do to her, having been the victim of a violent home invasion in the past. She eventually hired a security firm and consulted with the network about how to handle the situation. Because The Nanny was partially filmed in front of a studio audience, Drescher and the folks at CBS had to find a way to prevent the stalker in question from slipping into the crowd. The solution they settled on was to hire extras to sit in the audience.  Fran Drescher’s S...

Some weeks hand you a clean path, and some weeks ask you to slow down long enough to actually look at where you’ve been going. This one is firmly in the second category, stargazer — Neptune turns retrograde Tuesday, Venus changes signs midweek, and Saturn keeps its pressure on the Sun all week long. The sky isn’t asking for a breakdown. It’s asking for a more honest read on what’s actually in front of you. There’s movement here too, not just pressure. Whatever gets disrupted in love, in how you communicate, or in how you see yourself is pointing at something that needed a second look anyway. Mercury conjuncting the Sun by Friday opens a window even in the middle of retrograde season — something that’s been hard to say starts coming together. The week has more to offer the people who stay in it instead of checking out early. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 You’ve had a lot of forward moment...

Scientists have spent more than a decade trying to explain why dozens of Homo naledi skeletons wound up deep inside South Africa’s Rising Star cave system. Now, according to new research published in Cell and reported by Live Science , research conducted on the bodies has taken a weird turn toward the mysterious. Homo naledi is an extinct species of ancient human first discovered in South Africa’s Rising Star Cave system in 2013. Researchers analyzed the specimens’ ancient proteins preserved in the enamel of 23 fossil teeth from 20 individuals dating between roughly 236,000 and 335,000 years ago. One of the many things they look out for is AMELY, a protein linked to the Y chromosome that’s commonly used to identify biological males. They didn’t find it once. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the cave is an ancient all-female cemetery or that there were no males present. Scientists suspect that it’s possible H. naledi lost the gene at some point, or that...
