Donati. Not to be confused with that Frank Sinatra song.

2012 was one of the most recent years in the history of mankind. You may not remember what happened because it was a while ago, and you were probably busy. Here's a recap:

• Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years of her serving as the British equivalent of the Philly Phanatic.
• Lonesome George, a Pinta Island Tortoise, died. He was the last of his species. Happy Friday!
• Felix Baumgartner fell out of a spacecraft to prove that he really likes Red Bull.
• Scientists created the first bionic melon.
• The world ended, just like those people who misunderstood the Mayan calendar said it would!
• Encyclopaedia Britannica finally discontinued printing, leaving millions of people wondering what they’ll reach for now when they want to squash a bug.
• CERN discovered a new particle that may confirm the existence of Higgs boson, but it didn’t host the Golden Globes so nobody cared.
• Usain Bolt ran so fast he reversed time. CERN is now using him in the Large Hadron Collider.
• The Giants beat the Patriots at Super Bowl XLVI, and everybody was very, very happy about that.
• Donati harvested some tasty, tasty grapes.
