30 New ‘Today I Learned’ Facts That Prove It’s Never Too Late To Learn

Love this guy so much, and he was treated so poorly by the people he helped. RIP Alan, you legend.

I'm kind of surprised and really pleased that I recognised him from the picture alone before reading the text. I've only seen his face a couple of times (we Canadians have William Lyon Mackenzie King on our 50 notes, which I had to look up because I'm a poor bastard who's lucky to have a Queen Elizabeth II in my wallet).

Actually, the first breech into the code was by Polish mathematicians. The truth that is somehow forgotten --> Poland's overlooked Enigma codebreakers. The first breakthrough in the battle to crack Nazi Germany's Enigma code was made not in Bletchley Park but in Warsaw. The debt owed by British wartime codebreakers to their Polish colleagues was acknowledged this week at a quiet gathering of spy chiefs.

Chemically castrated by his government for being gay, which led to his suicide.

I think he’s a great man.

There is a theory that it wasn’t suicide, but an accidental shooting by a child playing with a gun. Van Gough, not wanting to expose the child, didn’t say anything about it.

Check out the 1990 movie, “Vincent & Theo.” It’s excellent.

Omg I read on the stones - Vincent van Gogh and "The other van Gogh"... -.-

The most revered are usually the most troubled … sad.

There is some question as to whether he actually committed suicide.

My dog sneezes at me when I'm eating. Trying to remind me she is there and waiting for her portion.

I also as a kid kneeled And put my hands And elbows on the floor and patted them on the floor which I learned was "I Want to play" in dog. It always works

My dachshund sneezes for treats and if you're too slow giving them to him it sounds like he's going into an allergy meltdown!

Love this

My dogs sneeze at each other when they are rough housing.

Can confirm. I have a set of these. We saw the printing on the bottom and laughed and the attendant said “yeah you can take them with you if you want, we pretty much expect it now”

And Tax Write-Off

Ohhhhh how cool. Love this

Awesome idea

They are great advertising material at very low cost.

Yep, if cats were truly nocturnal, then she would be sound asleep at the crack of dawn, not waking me by incessantly whining at me to get up so she can eat even though she free feeds and her food is always available but she won’t eat breakfast until I get up and she’s going to drive me to an early grave and she’s cute and fuzzy and I love her so much!!!

my circadian rythym is more 'craptacular'...

So that's why Ridley "No-Biting" is such a pill at 5:30 a.m.!!!

Same as rabbits.

This makes so much sense! My cat sleeps with me during the night and I was always wondering how they could be nocturnal and really sleeping 6 hours a night. Whereas my chinchillas were active all night.

funny dude!

That's sad that happened to a baby. The abandonment.How horrible. I wonder how long he was there. I'm so glad he was reached and adopted!

Awww

How can someone do that to their child? Unbelievable

Safe haven laws should be extended to allow kids of any age. There are all kinds of things that change in life that make caring for a kid hard or completely impossible.

I don't think Joni ever had a "Miss." Her voice was like a flute, her songs are so beautiful.

I randomly listened to Joni all day, yesterday. Well, actually I was in a room with a “Fuller House” episode on TV and they played “The Circle Game” (a response to Neil Young’s “Sugar Mountain”) and that got me listening to her for a good 10 hours. I hope she’s doing ok. 78, a stroke or two later and completely out of the public eye. May she be enjoying her older years!

Except none of her songs were misses. Even a genius' mistakes are better than most people's successes.

……….. Hit or miss- I guess they never miss huh-
