40 ‘Today I Learned’ Facts That Might Save You At The Next Trivia Night (New Pics)

The main knowledge that’s devalued is knowledge about equality and respect for minorities. Even anti-vax BS has a big element of “eff you, I’ve got mine”. 1960s Italy probably wasn’t a utopia of equality either. Meanwhile, we still have people who couldn’t get an education due to poverty and oppression who would love to have the opportunity to study further.

What a fantastic story :)

Thanks for sharing! “ In later years, Nancy remembered being treated like a VIP and being plied with chocolates and flowers while on board. It was to be a further 21 years before the next female was enlisted in the navy.

No man's land was the space in between the Allied side and the other side of the trenches. You were able to go out and either rescue your own wounded or dispatch your enemy because they would be fired apon from the other side.

Dogs are clearly often smarter!!!

Did you know he was friends with Ernie Coombs who was Mr Dressup? They both were good people with excellent shows for kids.

He was. One of my friends has a story about playing guitar (I think it was) right up by the edge of the stage. Naturally, as would happen, his chair leg went over the edge of the stage and then so did my friend. A member of the audience helped to pick him up and make sure he was all right. That audience member was Mr. Rogers.

An absolute treasure

You are right. That was him.

I learned that he actually didn't say "Damnit" and the actual phrase wasn't said that much, it basically was like how no one actually said "Beam me up, Scotty."

Nobody has acknowledged you appreciating his quote by quoting Gandhi, so I will :) it didn't go unnoticed.

Yeah, they beat me to it!
