TIL Thread

This isn't a TIL but it's a TIR (today I remembered) something a group of us early elementary school kids were told. We were told that if someone was trying to rape, molest or abduct us to yell "FIRE!" because that would get people's attention and make them want to help. If we were to yell "RAPE!" people might not want to get involved. This was absolutely something that was told to a group of kids (7-9) in the good old 80s.
 
This wasn't a TIL but this past weekend I learned how to jump a dirt bike and that's something I've always wanted to do. Yeah, yeah, it's nothing impressive or amazing, but being six months out from back surgery and getting older, this has me all giddy.

 


TIL about Wayne Estes. As an avid sports fan, I can't believe I haven't heard about him before. A few hours after scoring 2000 points for the Aggies and playing arguably his best game ever, he comes upon a crash scene. The dude tries and helps the victims of the crash and brushes up against a downed powerline and gets killed at 21. Only Rick Barry averaged more ppg that year. ****ing tragic. :(
 
I was googling what is the healthiest milk today (for my smoothies I eat each day) and I learned that A. There is such a thing a hemp milk. And B. It's the healthiest milk of all. Healthier than soy, almond, oat, coconut, cow, etc. And C. It's supposedly available at the Walmart near me.

The marijuana plant never ceases to amaze me.
