"TIL About the "murder bottle". Many Victorian mothers would use a self feeding bottle to give their babies milk instead of breastfeeding. These bottles were made of earthenware & glass & were incredibly hard to clean which caused severe bacteria build up & caused the deaths of thousands of babies."

#4 There was almost no TV in 1939. What there was was still more experimental than anything else. ...Betty White actually had her first TV role in 1945, in a short called 'Time To Kill'. She was an uncredited extra. Her first credited role was in 1949, but her credit still was only 'Phone Girl', which is the first step up from 'Extra'. However, her next role was the starring role in 'Life With Elizabeth', which ran for 40 episodes over 4 years from '52 to '55. She also appeared as herself in a one-off Eddie Albert show in '52.
Interesting side note: 'Time To Kill' was also the first TV role for DeForest Kelley, who later played Dr. McCoy on the original (and best) Star Wars.
Re: words of Hindi and Urdu origin (between nos. 28 & 29): many, if not all, of those words come directly from Farsi, spoken in Persia. The word 'Hindi' itself is Farsi, as is the word 'India'.

#17 They can't read proficiently but I'm sure they know all about 'white privilege', reparations, how evil the US is, and how wonderful Marxism/socialism/communism is.
Fun fact: is was forbidden to teach slaves how to read...

Lola,
'Socialism' IS quite wonderful, I had a heart bypass operation and it cost me nothing, and I got paid by the government while I was recuperating. I don't think we here in New Zealand actually ARE socialists, but we sure get to enjoy some of the benefits ... imagine having to buy insurance for medical expenses !!!

Charity,Socialized medicine in a free capitalist country like New Zealand and Socialism as a system of centralized economic planning and control like in Venezuela are not the same thing where everything is deplorable, including public health. You might think your medical care is free but it’s being payed out of your taxes and govt debt. The cost of medical care in the US is also the reason why the US is the single greatest source of medical innovation of which you and the rest of the world benefits from.

#28 They didn't drug them unconscious. They sedated them to a level where they could still function and follow basic commands but where more calm.
