Please 😛
To elaborate: I've set myself the task of learning at least one interesting thing per day during my school break. Eg. yesterday I learned about the etruscans (thx Bosse de Nage ), I found out where Malaysia is and I learned what prions are and that what used to be Persia is now Iran (and parts of Irak). (The latter 3 of these 4 things I learned over dinner with my parents in a persian restaurant... it was pretty gross, but that's another story 😕)
So, in a quest to broaden my general knowledge, please post some intersting facts here which I can read up on if I find them interesting 😉
Thank you... when I win money in a quiz show I'll share some with you 😉

Bin Laden isn't stupid that's why he is dangerous.

I don't think that third slot is vacant, but perhaps you are.

Since I know everything about Monopoly, here's something: The cannon and the battleship became tokens because Parker Brothers was working on a war game in 1937. It failed and they had a ton of extra game pieces that they threw into their new Monopoly game.
