 Something You Learned Today
I go through a day, and I usually learn something interesting that I didn't know before, so I figured why not put it in a thread, and maybe others can post what they've learned!
I'll go first...
I literally JUST found out the Benedict Cumberbatch is his REAL NAME. When everyone was talking about him when Star Trek was coming out, I thought that was his characters name in the movie. I literally had NO IDEA that was his real name.

 Re: Something You Learned Today
I learned how LEDs are ultimately too inefficient at high voltages, which is why we don't have them lighting up our houses yet.
BTW, good thread.

 Re: Something You Learned Today
Yesterday i learn that you cant give a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Felodipine) to a woman at a reproductive age because you can fry her possibilities to ever getting pregnant. Although they're highly contraindicated during pregnancy, they can be used to inhibit preterm labour. I think this is something i should of known for a long time  Maybe i did but i just forgot lol... :/

Blew my mind. Hudson wasn't a give away? But if you did not know that, then I guess you didn't know that Goldie Hawn is the mother of both Kate and Oliver Hudson, when married in the past to some guy named, Hudson. Mother. Son, Daughter. as Worlds Explode.

 Re: Something You Learned Today
I learned that the largest explosion ever, prior to the atomic bomb testing in the 1940s, was the Halifax Explosion during World War I.
Also that there is such a thing as savory ice cream.

I learned about Baghdad prior to the Mongolian Khan invasions was the gem of the Middle East. Amazing how many centuries of progress were destroyed because of the massacre.
