We all know how cool it would be to have an Apple Watch and getting one for your birthday may be the best present ever! When this guy didn't get his Apple Watch, he cried, but for a very good reason!

Who is Lucy the Australopithecus?
Lucy was found by Johanson and Gray on the 24 November, 1974, at the site of Hadar in Ethiopia. They had taken a Land Rover out that day to map in another locality. After a long, hot morning of mapping and surveying for fossils, they decided to head back to the vehicle. Johanson suggested taking an alternate route back to the Land Rover, thanks to a nearby stream. Within moments, he spotted a right proximal ulna (forearm bone) and simply define it as a hominid. Shortly thereafter, he saw an occipital (skull) bone, then a femur, some ribs, a pelvis, and the lower chin. Two weeks later, after many hours of sorting, screening, and , excavation several hundred fragments of bone had been recovered, representing 40 percent of a single hominid skeleton.
