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

Supposedly she was also the inspiration behind the old song/tongue twister "She sells seashells by the seashore". (In the parody version, line two is "she sells seashells to tourists by the score/If those gullible tourists looked they would see, dozens of shells they could pick up for free").

I read a few books inspired on her story.

She apparently wore a bonnet covered with shellac as a hard hat, and had to rescue several tourists from drowning when she gave tours of the fossil-ridden cliffs.

too many women get passed over for their achievements. it's a sadness and a shame.

Beds?? Thank goodness it wasn't from the window!!

There's that one movie, I can't remember what it's called, where a mom is on the phone, she's got her daughter watching Peter Pan in the background and you can see the little girl climbing up a bookcase, and then the mom turns around just in time to see her about to jump off and she catches her daughter.

This sounds like my little sister. She was obsessed with Peter Pan when she was young, and jumped off the back of our couch with a handful of glitter and dirt in her Peter Pan costume. She ended up cracking the root of one of her molars and it abscessed. The tooth had to be surgically removed.

"Do not try this at home."

Why is “to fly” in brackets?

…and then Leidy pointed to the farmers’ dead wife in the corner and said, “And that’s no chicken!”

This man is a Wikipedia rabbit hole waiting to happen!

Ummm... How?

CSI Mayberry.

Does this still play into effect if the songs are really depressing I wonder? Sometimes when I listen to really moody songs I feel more down after a few minutes.

But skipping songs for 14 of those minutes causes ADD.

Music is definitely one of my favorite ways to chillax!!

I always listen to music at work. Even on the most high stress days it can bring my blood pressure down a bit.

Rightfully so! Rewarding people who cover up companies, planfully and not somewhat by accident, breaking the law is what flaws everything that follows, while it still is seen as some kind of loyalty, kinda owed to the 7.25/hr job where they even gnaw off every single minute of your work they can, because a job is a job and a job makes you a full human being, while not having one, essentially, means you're of no use whatsoever. We're way too used to letting them have it their ways, regardless of the law, and way too used to frown upon people demanding the same from companies everyone expects from everyone - not planfully break the law in an effort to max out their profits. There is no cool aura of the outlaw in this, it's just well-executed, professional selfishness, on the cost and damage of us all more often than not. We should get this straight, and instead of firing whistleblowers, fire those who installed the blowable whistle in the first place.

5.4 million I would volunteer to set alone at lunchtime

I would of just quit after I got the settlement

I'd return to work in my chauffeur driven Maybach, in an Armani suit, wearing a Patek Philipe. Then, I go up to the bosses office, laugh, and tell him to go eff himself (-:

The could at least show an image of the correct building. duh

Rafael Viñoly designed the Vdara hotel in Las Vegas (opened in 2009). This was curved, and this causes solar convergence. This is exactly the same problem the Fenchurch Building in London has. It was completed in 2013, and was nicknamed the Walkie Talkie. When the problems became evident, it was called the Walkie Scorchie, or the Fryscraper. It was also designed by Rafael Viñoly! I've no idea how planning permission was granted for a huge solar collector in the heart of London, especially at the architect had also demonstrated the problem in a previous building!

Its an expensive mistake to park your car in the wrong place

wait london gets sunshine....? just kidding don't kill me.

I hate all glass sky scrapers. The sun reflection is enough to blind you and can cause epileptic seizures as your moving past them.

My dad ran away from home at age 14 to join the army. His father went and made him come back home. Two years later he did it again, and this time was sent overseas. Did I mention it was 1944?!

2 grenades sequentially? Or that land next to each other?

I’m picturing 2 kids in a trench coat walking into a recruiting office

Captain Lucas passed away in 2008. His body is buried at Highland Cemetery, Hattiesburg, MS
