The last time all living humans were on earth was November 2nd 2000. Ever since this date the International Space Station has been continuously occupied.
That reminds me of this picture;
Michael Collins, the astronaut who took this photo, is the only human, alive or dead that isn't in the frame of this picture, 1969
Collins took this picture of the Lunar Module, containing Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong with Earth in the background, during the Apollo 11 mission. This makes him the only person ever to have lived who was not inside the frame of the photo. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. That means that every human that lived up to the point of this photo being taken still exists, at least in some form, and every human that has been born since then was also is in this photo, at least in some form. So even if you were born after this picture was taken, the materials you’re made from are still on the frame of this picture.0 -
I actually have an AC/DC greatest hits compilation. It's a double CD called Hell's Hits. The blurb on the inside is in Russian. Which sounds legit...
Good compilation though. You can get it on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Greatest-Hells-Hits-AC-DC/dp/B01H7Y8DX2
Amazon have form for selling bootlegs / CDRs / non-legitimate releases.
The Discogs entry for Greatest Hells Hits is pretty conclusive.
https://www.discogs.com/ACDC-Greatest-Hells-Hits/release/2124493
Unofficial release and blocked from sale in their marketplace.
IMHO, the best-sounding AC/DC is the original 1989 pressing of Volume 1 which contains six blackface Alberts mastered by Disctronics. Since then, the international and US mixes have been used on ALL AC/DC pressings worldwide. Botched tracklistings and Frankenstein edits. To put this in context - it would be like if the first half of the Beatles UK catalogue was replaced with the US albums from the 1990s onwards i.e. the original UK mixes and edits lost to older CDs and the original vinyl. That's pretty much where we are at with the original Australian AC/DC albums.

You're forgetting all those who have been snatched by aliens for probing! Some of them might not have been back in time for the photo!0 -

What about Elvis? Wasn't he abducted by rock and roll loving aliens?0 -

To be fair it was a pretty impressive contraption, the intention was never to blast him into space, it was just to fire him into the sky. Actually, I'm pretty sure I remember the idea was Thompson's, he had went to talk to a guy about it way back in the 70s, it's in the BBC documentary about him that Ralph Steadman did.

Back in 2010, researchers identified a previously undocumented species of all-female lizard in the Mekong River delta......being served up as food at diners in numerous small villages! The Leiolepis ngovantrii is a small lizard found only in southern Vietnam.
Scientists also noted that the lizards were also clones of their mothers. This is rare, but at the same time not totally unheard of. For example, a few other species of lizards (and fish, too) can adapt to parthenogenesis (self-fertilization), especially when they are faced with adverse environments, pollution or over-hunting etc.
