As a child I was a fan of the Encyclopedia Brown mystery books. Today I was amazed to learn that the series continued until 2012.

In the Rudolph TV special, Hermey has blond hair, we all know this. But today I saw that he doesn't have pointed elf ears either, he has normal human ones! Is that why he doesn't like to make toys, he's not actually an elf? Mind blown.

I already knew about "impossible" assemblies of sticks and strings that use tension in the right directions to make seemlingly impossible "levitating" structures, but today I learned the word "tensegrity" and that Buckminster Fuller coined the term. You remember Fuller from his work on Buckyballs, of course.

The name for the group of self-checkouts with one manned station is a "bullpen."

Tori Bellaci and Grant Imahara worked on special effects for Van Helsing!
Van Helsing is a guity pleasure of mine. It's not a great movie by any definition, but it's a fun movie.

There is code in Windows 95 specifically added to avoid a Sim City bug.
