"After a boy in the 1930s found what looked like a "great lump of coal", his family used it as a doorstop for a decade until his dad had "a little look at it." This led to the realization it was the world's largest black sapphire. After being faceted, the Black Star of Queensland is 733 carats."

#10 I suppose hearing impairment is a requisite for playing The Incredible Hulk. Isn't that right, Lou Ferrigno?

Seymour,
I now understand why I have to keep repeating 'Hey Bixby' before my Samsung watch finally listens

#9 You shoud check your stories.
This fella didn't build a prison in his yard. Actually, he moved to a monastery for a couple of years. That's it.
Please... Stop spreading these stories without a background check! It's so easy these days. Just ask AI, Wiki or even fu****g google.

#13 That P.T. Barnum ... posted signs indicating "This Way to the Egress". Not knowing that "Egress" was another word for "Exit", people followed the signs ... and ended up outside."
Is the writer of this caption that ignorant. He posted a sign pointing the way to an exit - ya think maybe he did know what egress meant?

I guess they ran out of sequential numbers for social security in 2011, because yeah, I even know how many people got socials between each of my younger sisters, because they didn't even randomize the last 4 digits. So people who take a tiny bit of time to study it, already know what are valid numbers, even if they know nothing about who it belongs to.

#15 That plane crashed in a neighborhood in which the residents were still waiting to bury their dead from the September attacks - mostly families of first responders. They couldn't have services or bury their dead because there were so many there was a waiting list. They thought it was another attack. The terror which it unleashed was traumatizing. I remember that day, because later, I was sitting in a meeting of one of the big self-help groups, in which people were sitting there talking about how wonderful and kind and loving god is. One of them went on about how nice god was for finding her a parking space that day. It was the last time I ever went to one of those meetings.
re: Bruce Lee: it's called 'hypernatraemia', not 'hypo'. Hyper means too much; hypo means not enough. 'Nat' is from Latin; in English, it survives in words such as 'natatorium', which is a place for swimming. ...Deaths from hypernatraemia are not as uncommon as one might supposed. And persons who drink obsessive amounts of water become much less healthy than they think they are. I've seen it in athletes I've coached, where was able to measure it in their performance, also in persons following extreme diets. if you pee clear once a day, you're getting plenty of water; if it's much more often than that, you're getting too much.
