Sure...Euripides wrote the original "Medea", but we can thank Tyler Perry for the numerous remakes making it a true modern classic. Especially Medea Goes to Jail. What a wonderful adaptation of the Greek original

There you go.
The Euro is the new 'single currency' of the European Monetary Union, adopted on January 1, 1999 by 11 Member States. Greece became the 12th Member state to adopt the Euro on January 1, 2001. On January 1, 2002, these 12 countries officially introduced the Euro banknotes and coins as legal tender.

Should Æthelred the Unready be accepted for Edward the Confessor? Erik the Red was Erikson's father, there's no reason for that to be accepted.

And "unready" in his name did not mean that he was unprepared, but that he hadn't been well advised.

Interestingly, 'Aethelred' is actually an anagram of 'the leader', which he was (off topic)

Erik the Red was actually Leif's father, and he never went any farther west than Greenland.

That's true. He didn't actually invent the first electric light bulb, but he did invent the first incandescent light bulb.

Agreed. He didn't invent the lightbulb. He bought the 1st patent for it from two Canadian guys.

Someone always feels the need to say this. The simple fact is that nobody really invents anything by themselves. If we have to choose one person who is most responsible for popularizing electric light, it is Thomas Edison.

THANK YOU! - I bet even the naysayers don't know the names of the "two Canadian guys" to whom they refer. But everyone will associate the bulb with Edison. (duh)!

"Oldest human remains". Not really true in any case - most palaeoanthropologists will say that you see modern humans elsewhere before Ethiopia, e.g. Morocco. (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature22336) and you could argue that "human" could mean any hominoid post-dating the split with chimps/bonobos, of which there are multiple candidates, many not in Ethiopia.
