That's a cute and fascinating fact

I read about it years ago, but didn't know they sent him a painting. That's cool and sweet too!

How cute 😍

This typically is not the best idea, though. Rather use a socket wrench with bits and operate it really carefully. Using special oils to loosen a screw firstbor to de-rust it can also help. Merr mere force likely destroy the screw!

I didn't know that because I'm more familiar with the purple kind in the stores. I didn't know that that's how they grow. BTW, this is the white version. The purple version starts out purple from the beginning.

Measles targets memory cells?? Thanks to every scientist who ever put an ounce of thought into creating that life-saving vaccine.

cool!

Holy c**p.

Is it true or just something that looks true after the fact?

Mindblown...

Great factoid.

Wow! I am a 5th-grade teacher and my kids always struggle with fractions. I will definitely be using this in my lessons next school year.

I don't think I even remember what a fraction is, but his makes sense

As a kid i had this doubt that the symbol is a blank fraction and asked my teacher who just laughed in my face and said obviously not.

TIL that the the elements of division are called the numerator and the denominator.

Jesus christ

i-

I just found out this minute - are we any better off for knowing it? In what way; I don't want to miss anything - except trouble.

OK, if you say so?

haha who didn't know this

My brain just broke...

OMG MIND BLOWN

Major, major, wow. (math-kinda-liking-type)

*still do not under stand oh i understand

Why is this so surprising to so many people I always thought fractioning and dividing were the same thing.

Makes sense!

Whoooaaa.

I read somewhere that the ampersand was part of the alphabet a long time ago.

Yeah, I thought about that randomly in class and was like, "Oh my god... MS. LANDERS!" XD

THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

Far Canal

BRO...

Good to know. Did not know for 70 yrs.

Wait a damn minute

I'm going to say "probably not" on this one. The symbol goes back to ancient Greece while the mathematical use of it dates only to 1659.

Yep. I just figured that out recently too!

I thought it was a barrier separating two dots

Which is Latin for “and“.

The English are unchallenged in having absurd units of measurement.

Oh god, they really should talk to the people making cartoons. I have been gravely misinformed in my youth...

Is it just me or do they all look like cabbage patch kids?

They look like grumpy gnomes.

This is the city arms of Bern from Switzerland

The painter's sister Nan who modelled as the woman in the paintintg, perhaps embarrassed about being depicted as the wife of a man twice her age (modelled by a dentist), started telling people that Wood had envisioned the couple as father and daughter, not husband and wife. The painter Grant Wood himself remained vague on this point.

Hahahahaha

I knew James Earl Jones and that was it

Not parking in front of a fire hydrant should be common sense.

Nope. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

And if you pick them young enough, they're edible.

It is funny. I was just eating M&M's when reading this

This all make sense now. Btw love technology connections channel.:)

I was told "bumped his head in the middle of the bed" was really "his wife killed him'. My grandmother was one dark woman

How old were you when you realized Bikini Bottom is under Bikini Atoll, where the US tested hundreds of nuclear weapons? Spongebob is a nuclear mutation

I have known this for ages but forget to do it and always ended up cooking more pasta than needed.
