Imagine horses the size of housecats. They were called Sifrhippus, and they lived 56 million years ago. Weighing in at a tiny 12 pounds and eating mostly leaves, Sifrhippus didn’t look or act much like modern horses. They’re really only related through name and an ancient common ancestor.

Early every year, the Grammys come along, and every year someone gets snubbed. There are those who get nominated and lose—that’s one thing. But there are also those who never even got the nod. This year, Kanye West retains his title as “king of the snubbed.” His album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” which was
