More Thursday Things

From the Daily Sabah, the E.U. plans to spend €1.5 million to help refugees in Turkey.

From Anadolu Agency, Turkey condemns the decision of a Greek court to give asylum to a soldier accused of involvement in the 2016 coup.  (The article calls the soldier a "putschist", which comes from the German word putsch.)

From FrontpageMag, has Canada been hit by a "beach jihad"?

From ABC10, a crematorium sends ashes skyward.  (via the New York Post)

From the New York Post, scientists try to explain why our brains are so big.  (Explaining our big egos, on the other hand, is probably beyond science.)
