A GENIUS AMONG US: THE SAD STORY OF WILLIAM J. SIDIS So, on April 1, 1898, Sarah gave birth to the couple’s first child, William James Sidis. Combining Boris and Sarah’s genes alone should have been enough to produce a very smart child, but they didn’t want merely a smart child. They wanted a genius. William’s education began in his very first days on Earth. Sarah quit her job practicing THE ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE "CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR" Because of this, most etymologists think it likely that the phrase originated from when someone came close to winning one of the nearly impossible games, but ultimately lost, earning “no cigar,” with game workers belting the phrase out when people lost, trying to draw crowds and encourage the person who got close to try again. HOW THE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY OF A BUILDING IS CALCULATED Generally speaking, the maximum occupancy of a room or building is primarily determined by the available exits, with each exit accommodating only a certain number of people before bottlenecking occurs. The other key component in determining the max occupancy of a building or room is the intended use of the space, whether it’s, forinstance, a

WHAT DOES BEING SHOT ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE? One side note here is what getting shot in the head feels like. It turns out plenty of people actually survive this type of wound, with those who are still quite cognoscente of the incident universally reporting extreme headache like symptoms. For example, one Michael THE SPEECH THAT COST NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS In his autobiography, Gerald Ratner: The Rise and Fall and Rise Again, Ratner claimed that his success in the 1980s was down to an experience he had when he was younger at Petticoat Lane Market.At this market, Ratner noticed that it wasn’t the vendors selling the best goods that got the most sales or interest from customers, it was the vendors who yelled the loudest and had the most WHAT WERE THOSE WEIRD METAL THINGS ON THE BEACHES DURING The Normandy Invasions represented one of the single largest military maneuvers in history.

However, the general consensus among this sample-set was that people poop themselves somewhere between 20%-50% of the time either directly before or sometime after death. For a subset of direct quotes in response to the query, said Scott, If ALCOHOL DOESN'T REALLY "COOK OUT" OF FOOD IN MOST CASES Alcohol Doesn’t Really “Cook Out” of Food in Most Cases. November 28, 2011 Daven Hiskey 59 comments. Today I found out alcohol does not “cook out” of food in most cases. The myth that alcohol does all cook out stems from the fact that alcohol has a much lower boiling point temperature (173° F / 78.5° C) than water (212° F /100° C).
CHARLES OSBORNE HAD THE HICCUPS FOR 68 YEARS, FROM 1922 TO Today I found out Charles Osborne (1894-1991) had the hiccups non-stop for approximately 68 years, from 1922 to June 5th, 1990.

WHERE DID THE NASA EXPRESSION STEELY-EYED MISSILE MAN COME In the 2011 novel The Martian and its 2015 film adaptation, orbital dynamics expert Rich Purnell devises a maneuver to get NASA’s Hermes spacecraft back to Mars and rescue marooned astronaut Mark Watney.Upon carrying out the maneuver, the crew of the Hermes sends a signal back to Mission Control, stating: “Houston, be advised: Rich Purnell is a steely-eyed missile man.” THE SURPRISINGLY PLAUSIBLE THEORY THAT THE PYRAMIDS WERE The final riddle of the pyramids’ construction is how the whole structure was kept square and level. One theory posits that a trench was dug around the foundation of the pyramid and filled with water, the surface of which was then used as a guide for levelling the base. While certainly plausible, this does not account for the highlyprecise
HOW DO THE JAPANESE TEACH ABOUT WWII? One of the many reasons for this was the entanglement of the Cold War policy with that of teaching history. In July 1955, two years after the end of the War of Korea, textbooks containing the atrocities of the Japanese army were condemned by the Japanese parliament. The stated reason for this was that textbooks should not aid in presentingthe

On October 9, 1985, the great director and actor, Orson Welles, was scheduled to appear on “The Merv Griffin Show”, one of TV’s most popular talk shows. Griffin had actually met Welles years before at his Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow. “I was right outside his bungalow”, recalledGriffin.
DO EXPERT FIGHTERS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL REALLY HAVE TO Any person who is an expert in the art of karate or judo, or any similar physical in which the hands and feet are used as deadly weapons, is required to register with the Department of Revenue and Taxation. An exception to this is that U.S. military members, as well JANE ELLIOT AND THE BLUE-EYED CHILDREN EXPERIMENT Jane Elliot and the Blue-Eyed Children Experiment. On April 4, 1968, Jane Elliot, a third grade teacher in Riceville, Iowa, turned on her television set to learn more about Martin Luther King’s assassination and was appalled at what she heard from a white reporter. With microphone pointed toward a black leader, the whitereporter asked
HOW DICK CAME TO BE SHORT FOR RICHARD How Dick became a nickname for Richard is known and is one of those “knee bone connected to the thigh bone” type progressions, somewhat similar to how the word ‘soccer’ came about . Due to people having to write everything by hand, shortened versions of Richard were common, such as ‘Ric’ or ‘Rich’. This in turngave rise to

To many people adding one of the principal ingredients in antifreeze to wine sounds almost cartoonishly stupid and evil, which is probably why that exact scenario is the basis for an entire episode of The Simpsons.Nevertheless, for at least 7 years, many major wine makers in Austria decided to add this highly toxic poison to their wines, with a handful of bottles even found to contain enough "DIRTY BERTIE’S" THRONE: THE SEX CHAIR OF EDWARD VI But by 1890 Edward’s enormous sexual appetite had begun to run afoul of his other great love: that of food. To say Edward was a big eater would be an understatement, his standard dinner being a gargantuan 12-course affair including two kinds of soup, whole salmon, multiple saddles of mutton, sirloins of beef, and whole game birds, devilled herrings, cheese, and cakes. WHEN AND WHY THE PITCHER'S MOUND WAS INTRODUCED TO BASEBALL In 1893, in the attempt to, once again, create an equilibrium between pitchers and hitters to maximize fan enjoyment, new rules were put in place. The pitching distance increased to 60 feet, 6 inches; a pitching slab replaced the pitching box; and the pitching mound was introduced. Between 1893 and 1950, the only rule regarding the heightof
THE GERMAN ROCKET FIGHTER THAT DISSOLVED ITS PILOTS ALIVE The German Rocket Fighter that Dissolved its Pilots Alive. On July 28, 1944, a flight of P-51 Mustangs escorting a squadron of B-17 Bombers on a mission over Merseburg, Germany, spotted something strange in the distance: a pair of white contrails rising at tremendous speed into the stratosphere. As the contrails pitched over and dove onto the HOW THE HUMAN BODY GENERATES ELECTRICITY When it comes to the electricity created in the human body, the energy source creating it is chemical. The energy created by chemicals has to do with the composition of the atoms and molecules present. All the elements we take into our bodies, like oxygen, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium etc. have a specific electrical charge- meaning THE SPEECH THAT COST NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS In his autobiography, Gerald Ratner: The Rise and Fall and Rise Again, Ratner claimed that his success in the 1980s was down to an experience he had when he was younger at Petticoat Lane Market.At this market, Ratner noticed that it wasn’t the vendors selling the best goods that got the most sales or interest from customers, it was the vendors who yelled the loudest and had the most WHAT DOES BEING SHOT ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE? One side note here is what getting shot in the head feels like. It turns out plenty of people actually survive this type of wound, with those who are still quite cognoscente of the incident universally reporting extreme headache like symptoms. For example, one Michael DO PEOPLE REALLY DEFECATE DIRECTLY AFTER DEATH AND, IF SO Universally, they almost all qualified their response with, “Depends on what they died from.”. However, the general consensus among this sample-set was that people poop themselves somewhere between 20%-50% of the time either directly before or sometime after death. For a subset of direct quotes in response to the query, said Scott, If WHAT WERE THOSE WEIRD METAL THINGS ON THE BEACHES DURING The Normandy Invasions represented one of the single largest military maneuvers in history. Beginning on June 6, 1944, D-Day (see, What does the “D” in D-Day stand for?), the invasion was the largest amphibious assault of all time and involved what basically amounted to the collective might of a large percentage of the nations in the industrialized world working in tandem to defeat theTODAY I FOUND OUT

While the party-fueled vaporization and inhalation of alcohol is extremely dangerous, there are some real medical benefits when done appropriately. ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE "DEAD RINGER" Bonus Facts: The false dead ringer etymology stems from a chain letter titled “Life in the 1500s” which circulated in 1999 and claimed that when graveyards started becoming overcrowded, people would dig up old graves in order to free up space for new burials. When they cracked the coffins open, one in every twenty-five coffins had scratch WHY DOES MOIST, BALED AND STACKED HAY SPONTANEOUSLY CATCH Mark R. asks: Why does wet hay that is bailed catch on fire? Plant reactions and bacterial growth combine to raise temperatures in even the driest hay bales, although most never catch fire on their own. However, when hay is packed tightly, and enough moisture gets in, the conditions may be right for spontaneous hay combustion.
