30 Rarely Heard Facts That May Leave Your Craving For Knowledge Sated, Courtesy Of This Page (New Facts)

Father Damien is a somewhat distant cousin of mine. Our extended families are in/from Belgium and Luxembourg. I visited Kualapapa and took time to meditate a bit at his empty grave.

He is a hero and a saint!

Let's see DeSantis' "Christian" response to Florida's endemic leprosy.

"It's all for you Damien" Wait wrong movie.

Fun fact: his pinkie is allegedly stored in the church behind my high school

This should NOT be misunderstood as a free-pass to waste aluminum! It's extremely energy intensive to produce aluminum, don't waste it e.g. to wrap your lunch daily that you can simply put in a reusable box instead!

Aluminium is one of the few materials where recycling actually is widespread because it is very economic. Due to the extremely high quantities of energy necessary to produce aluminium from bauxite, it is much cheaper just to recycle it, so of course the companies jumped the bandwagon, while other ressources are just being trashed.

But don't ask about plastics....the actual problem

I’d like to know the source of that “statistics.” I willing to bet that it’s from the aluminum industry or one of their well-paid PR companies. The numbers just don’t add up. Especially when you consider the TRUE fact that less than 5%-6% of ALL materials that could be recycled, are ACTUALLY recycled. Another suspicious point, the aforementioned says, “ 75% of all aluminium produced world wide is still in use today.” What the hell does that mean? That 75% of the aluminum made world-wide today, is still in use today? How vague is that? WTF??

What % is Hats ?

This is rather disturbing if fascinating.

I loved this show as a child

Pinky had a special walk too (a kind of skip step). When my daughter was primary school age we used to practice that together in shopping centres.

When I was little, I heard the Pink Panther theme in the living room, and got super excited because I loved that cartoon. I was so disappointed that it was people on the screen. Some kind of detective show, I think.

Used to watch this as a kid for many years before becoming aware of the movies - always wondered why they had the Inspector Clouseau segments in it.

The Pink Panther Theme was played by Plas Johnson, a very good saxophonist, and written by Henry Mancini

American electricity is 60Hz. European electricity is 50Hz.

So Europe has a happy G background sound and Americans have like a blues note?

I've experienced this once when the power went out in my apartment complex, and I gotta say it felt weird after becoming aware of how accustomed to the humming sounds I had got.

that makes sense given musical notes are defined by their frequency.

220, 221 ... whatever it takes.
