“Today I Learned”: 35 Interesting Things People Didn’t Learn In School (New Pics)

Now that's genius. Would have loved to see Becker's reaction.

Lots of players have "tics". There was a guy in my team that before serving wiggled his hips and raised his back foot. Then he went back to his regular stance and served, making the whole thing useless. It drove us nuts! One day we got a couple of teammates to hold his foot down and he couldn't make a single serve on target (one of the guys got a kick in the face before we figured out the best way to hold the leg down, that was funnier than the whole exercise)

my dad loves tennis, i should tell him this

I would love to have seen Boris' reaction

Becker wants a rematch.

Quite appropriate for The Doctor. :D

To be or not to be or to be AND not to be, that is the question when you have a time machine and writers who retcon by declaring it all timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly and such.

I see David, I up vote.

Wow

And technically it’s not a skull (no jawbone) it’s a cranium.

And so now Kevin Bacon is, ironically, the one preventing people from dancing.

Kevin's dad is much beloved here in the City of Brotherly Love. Edmund Bacon was an urban planner and the executive directory of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission until 1970. In 2002, at 92 years of age, Ed Bacon road a skateboard across LOVE Park, in order to protest the skateboard ban. He wrote "I am deeply disturbed by the hypocrisy of City Council. After decrying the drugs and crime of our young people, it then adopted legislation forbidding the one harmless thing that young people had developed strictly on their own, the wonderful national network of skateboarding focusing on LOVE Park." He invited the city papers, and the architect of the park Vincent Kling to his "event". The police tried to stop the 92-year-old, but with so many eyes watching, he was not arrested. After his ride he screamed "Oh God, thank you, thank you. My whole damn life has been worth it just for this moment." We love Ed Bacon, and his son Kevin is pretty cool too.

Don't blame him.

Kenny Loggins must be pretty happy because of royalties' loss...

He IS an amazing dancer, though

Okay, here's the plan. We sneak in at night and hit it with a heat gun for a few hours. Then we watch as a whole new field of tar studies open up.

What's the point of it tho?

Hmm. I thought glass was also a very viscous liquid. And we have a glass bell jar. Which drips first?

The poor man set up the experiment and never got to see the drop break off - there is a live feed if you need a little down time

There is a similar exhibit in the Kelvin grove Museum in Glasgow, from 1887. It's called Pitch Glacier.

That last sentence, I needed that today.

GO TYLER

He imagined himself as Future Trunks. Awesome

Aww, a happy ending! :D

Like being the healer in a 10-man raid and killing the boss after a near wipe, because you have that one spell that hits for 302pts, but is instant. And the boss, after killing the last DPS, after smearing the TANK, has only 300pts.
