Today's Top Wikipedia Edits: Most Countries are Missing Nixon's Gifted Moon Rocks

According to Wikipedia:

• "Mayonnaise is butter"
• "Of the 270 Apollo 11 Moon Rocks and Apollo 17 Goodwill Moon Rocks that were given to the nations of the world by the Nixon Administration, approximately 180 are currently unaccounted for.... Elizabeth Riker was assigned the task of hunting down the Alaska Apollo 11 Moon Rock by her professor... in 2010, she stated that after conducting a thorough investigation, she has concluded that Alaska's Apollo 11 Moon Rock is missing.... A crab-fishing captain who took the Moon Rock after a fire at the Alaska Transportation Museum in 1973 returned the Moon Rock in 2012 after unsuccessfully filing a lawsuit against the State of Alaska to deem the Moon Rock his sole property."
• List of alleged extraterrestrial beings: Flatwoods monster, Greys, Hopkinsville goblin, Little green men (included only for cultural reference), Nordic aliens, Reptilians.

This Is Britt A.M., Episode 47, Black History Month and Black Lives Matter

February was Black History Month, and on this first day of March, I hope to continue the conversation of the importance of racial equality and black presence, history, and experience in our society past the month of February. I hope to present today’s tracks, and a Ted Talks interview with the founders of Black Lives Matter, from a place of support and solidarity, with acknowledgement of my privilege as a white person.
