Caveman Approved Products of the Week

There have been thousands of books published about George Washington but theres no doubt that Ron Chernow’s Washington: A Life stand a head above the rest

This is the story of George Washington’s life – from the cradle to the grave, his family, his country, his story. Chernow has created a passionate volume of the personage that was Washington.

If you want a story that exalts a man to the level of a god, cleansing every flaw and making him out to be Moses, this isn’t it. His quirks are all here, his obsession with appearances, his very complex and unfortunate relationship with slavery, everything.

Picture of the Day


Freddie Mercury bequeathed the vast majority of his fortune to his ex-girlfriend, Mary Austin, and also entrusted her to ensure that the burial place of his ashes would remain secret.

“All my lovers asked me why they couldn’t replace Mary [Austin], but it’s simply impossible. The only friend I’ve got is Mary and I don’t want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, that’s enough for me.”

Hot New Music of the Day

The homie sent over the new one from Inland Empire alt-rock four piece Cheridomingo. It’s called "Swallow" and it is all about how we all can sometimes express our anger and distress in immature ways. This leads to self destruction and the band reminds us this with their pop punk meets alternative jam. They have created a dedicated community of fans in SoCal with the ultimate goal of inclusion, compassion and relief of suffering.

76-Year-Old Asian Woman Fights Off a 39-Year-Old Attacker, Sending Him To The Hospital

Xiao Zhen Xie

On Wednesday, while a 76-year-old Asian woman was waiting to cross the street in San Francisco, she was punched in the face by a 39-year-old man. But Xiao Zhen Xie acted quickly when she spotted a two-foot stick nearby. She grabbed the stick and hit him back, so hard he was sent to the hospital with a bloody face, and apparently “dazed".

“This bum, he hit me,” Xie told a crowd in Chinese, crying as she held the stick she’d used to defend herself.

The last US Civil War Widow died in 2020. The practice of a young woman marrying an older man for his Civil War pension as a dependent was common practice in the early 20th century

Since he was 93 at the time of his marriage, and she was 17, then she went on to live until 101 herself – a full 155 years AFTER the Civil War ended.

In 1936, in the midst of the Great Depression, she married 93-year-old James Bolin (1843–1939), who had served in the 14th Missouri Cavalry. Jackson was 17. She met him when her father volunteered her to help the elderly Bolin with basic chores. With no other means to repay her kindness, Bolin offered to marry Jackson so she would become eligible to receive his pension after he died. Similar marriages had occurred before.

Jackson and Bolin were married outside his home in Niangua, Missouri. Following the marriage, the couple never made their marriage public, fearing damage to Jackson’s reputation. She continued to live with her parents. Following Bolin’s death, three years later, Jackson decided against applying for the $73.13 monthly pension after Bolin’s daughters threatened to ruin her reputation.
