TIL: Today I Learned

My husband has a scar on his forehead from getting hit with a cymbal as a child.

The cymbal was a horcrux.

I'm trying to find a good pun involving "sharps" but it's eluding me.

You strike me as more of an O'Doul's man anyway.

YIL (by asking my doctor) why you turn your head when you cough during a testicular exam. It's so stupidly obvious in retrospect. "So you don't cough on me."

Today I learned about 8,000 Americans are injured by musical instruments each year.

Now imagine what that number would be if our politicians did not take fine arts out of our schools...

They're just trying to prevent another Hitler. No art, no art school rejection.

TIL about an animal called Maned Wolf that looks like Salvador Dalí designed it.

And it's not Photoshopped

TIL that apparently everyone knew this but me. I think I just overthought it.

I turned a corner, faced 100 some odd released offenders. I was wearing an oversized plaid sports shirt, and cheap khakis. And so were they. And one of them noticed and told me so.

[PatrThom]

Yep. Sour cream is sour, not rotten.

So, a few weeks ago, I sent a vial of spit off to 23andMe.
One of the things they test for is how many Neanderthal variants you have in your genes. They test for 2872 variants. The highest person in 23andMe's database has 387 variants. I have 306.
I'm a freaking caveman.
(ok, not really--Neanderthal variants are less than 4% of my DNA but still, kind of cool)

I'm trying to imagine you collecting a vial of spit. I mean, how big of a vial do they need? Does it have to contain cheek cells? Do you have to practically fill an entire swimming pool?
