TIL that during the Great Depression, mothers were making clothes for their kids out of the cotton fabric from 50lb wheat sacks. The wheat companies found out, and started printing wheat sacks with colorful floral patterns so girls could have nice dresses to wear.

TIL The first Roman fire brigade was created by Marcus Crassus. 500 men strong. Arriving at the scene, the fire fighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the owner at a low price. If the owner agreed to sell, they put the fire out. Otherwise they let it burn down

TIL of the Disposable Ship- As British taxes only applied to lumber on a ship, and not the lumber that MADE UP the ship, Canadian loggers began building large, barely seaworthy ships that would be broken up for timber once they reached British shores.

TIL There is a phenomenon where millions of people in Britain all simultaneously turn on their electric kettles during commercial TV breaks causing massive power surges countrywide.

Shower Thoughts

Arms are really inconvenient when trying to find a comfy sleeping position

The sensation of having a hole in your sock is worse than not wearing socks at all

If you peel and eat a banana, you have then become the peel.

It\'s a good idea to wait 24 hours after eating to leave a food review.

Patience is not ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

On a galactic scale, amber and pearl are far rarer than gold and diamonds because they require life.

Locksmiths need to get more appreciation for being able to break into any house or car and not doing it

Gambling is only considered an addiction if you are bad at it.

When they filmed the Matrix \\u201cThere is no spoon\\u201d part, they would have had to pretend to hold a spoon in order to cg a bending spoon...thus making the statement true. There really was no spoon in that scene.

McDonald\'s charges you to add ingredients but doesn\'t lower the price when you remove them.
