Whoa. Talk about mind-****s...
I just learned that Johnny Hart, the creator of the popular newspaper comic strip B.C., near the end of his life revealed B.C. to take place in a post-apocalyptic world!
Talk about a "It Was Earth All Along" moment!

I learned two of my favorite episodes of two of my favorite shows are based off of football. In case you're wondering, I'm talking about "Grin Iron Glory" from Teenage Robot, and "Preggers" from Glee.

As early as 1901 and late as 1970 there were serious attemps by Western Australia to succed from the Federation and become its own country. And the argument still exists to this day.

I learned that painting is a pain in the a$$! I also learned that Leonardo Da Vinci is more of a genius than I thought!

I also learned that Leonardo Da Vinci is more of a genius than I thought! Leo was a great renaissance artist. His ideas were innovative for the development of the parachute, helicopter, and glider. On a more geekier subject, his glider design was one of the inspirations that led Bob Kane to create Batman, and one of the ninja turtles is named after him.

There is an island made entirely of rubbish twice the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean. Similar trash islands exist in every ocean.
Also, on the topic of islands, the residents of Japan's Izu Islands, especially Miyakejima, wear gas masks most of the time due to the highest sulphur levels on Earth being present there. It's illegal not to have one with you at all times.
