What interesting fact did you learn recently?

i don't know if this is true, but google says to put a cactus near your computer so that it can lessen the amount of radiation nearby since plants help with pollutants. (hurry up and put 50 cacti around just to be safe.) you're welcome. hopefully, it will keep cancer and things like that away.

I just found out French impressionist writer Alphonse Daudet(one of my favorite) was an anti-Semite, and founded Anti-Semitic League of France. He also founded and edited anti-Semitic newspaper La Libre Parole. I must admit right now, I'm quite disappointed.

yep, i don't like stuff like that. in those cases, it's sort of like "don't throw out the baby with the bath water". hold on to the things you liked about someone's work or personality, and get rid of the rest. no reason to stop liking things that have changed or inspired you.

oh, you know what else? some sh*thead made fun of a preacher that i listen to all the time because he's on tv and must not be a true believer, just a money maker. well, this preacher helps people to become emotionally stronger and to get over any abuse they received in their past. if he ever became one of those tv preachers that just want to steal people's money, i would still remember all the lessons i learned from his sermons because his messages come from universal/spiritual truths. so, basically, just pick up your staff and keep on walking towards your destiny and/or missions in life.

You can fit every planet in our solar system between Earth and it's moon.

Ancient Romans used to clean their teeth with their own urine.

Russia didnt consider beer to be alcohol until 2011. It was previously classified as a softdrink.

There is an actual book about the automata made during the eighteenth century It was written by Adelheid Voskuhl and it's called " Androids in the Enlightenment. Mechanics, Artisans, and Cultures of the Self ". A must read!
