Re: What is a fact you learned...

MLK and Anne Frank were born in the same year.

There are probably whales alive today who were alive when Moby Dick was composed.

There's a number, called Graham's number, so large that if it were transcribed such that each digit represented the smallest measurable space possible (a Planck volume), it would still not fit inside the observable universe.

Ancient humans somehow knew they needed salt, and that it would taste good, and went to extraordinary lengths to acquire it--even evaporating their urine--and nobody knows how they knew.

My all time favorite mind blower is that if all of evolutionary time were compressed into one year, humans would appear one minute before midnight on December 31st.

"one minute before midnight" sounds like a great title for one of those Bill Bryson-style sweeping history books

Bill Bryson may or may not be my favorite writer working today (spoiler: he is, I love him so much), so...heart eyes @ you, anon

I've met him. I think he's great!

These are surreal and cool all at the same time.

And the MLK/Anne Frank one is just plain neat and seems kinda appropriate, given how inspirational and hopeful they both were.

And that both were only one of millions to die at the hands of their oppressors.

That's my birthday...So everybody else not born on that day would essentially be zero years old.

Nice birthday! You get to represent all of humankind on the timeline. Tell the neanderthal who showed up at 11:58:50 to budge over, please.

+Marilyn Monroe and the current Queen Elisabeth were born in the same year, 1926.

JFK, C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley all died within a few hours of each other.
