In the old days, people often confused wisdom and erudition. At that time, the whole modern methodology of scientific research had not yet been invented, therefore, whoever knew more scattered random facts about the world around us was sometimes considered a sage.

Now those days are gone, and just knowing a lot of things about everything will only get you through trivia quizzes or might come in handy while playing Jeopardy. But how pleasant it is sometimes to show off one's erudition among friends! And just for such cases, various dedicated Twitter pages - like this one, for example - collect wonderful lists of cool and thrilling facts from here, there and everywhere.

This is wrong -- at least for me -- instead, it is about regaining a tiny bit of control over your life. I have done this when I have endured periods in my life where I felt powerless over much of what I was going through. It also may be ever so slightly a reaction to my childhood, where I had to go to bed much earlier than I wanted to -- and being the youngest in my family, I could hear that others were still awake and having fun without me -- so as an adult, I'm partially still rebelling against my parents, lol.

    Again, "not ugly" does not equal "attractive". A large portion of those 78 million people may find you simply average-looking.

    I dunno, I feel like I would find that more harrowing. At least if you knew the day, there would be some certainty to your experience, which I think could be a relief. Not knowing, and constantly thinking "Is this the day they take my life?" seems like it might drive a person mad.

    I had to look this up for the explanation. The photons which are created in the sun's core, are continually being absorbed, scattered, and re-emitted by particles in the dense solar plasma, making it a very long and somewhat random journey to the surface of the sun.
