9:35a - Happy National Thylacine Day!
Happy National Thylacine Day, everyone!

Yes, today, September 7th marks 70 years since the carnivorous Australian marsupial known as the thylacine (aka, the Tasmanian wolf) was hunted to the point of extinction. The last known thylacine died in Hobart's Zoo on September 7, 1936 -- 70 years ago today!

And in other September 7th news, actor Corbin Bernsen is 52 today. Just thought you'd want to know.
