TIL about Dr. Benjamin Rush who provided the Corps of Discovery with 600 "Dr. Rush's Bilious Pills," powerful laxatives containing 50% mercury, colloquially called "thunderclappers." The high mercury content provided a tracer that has allowed the Corps' campsites to be identified via soil testing.

WATCH: Dentist congressman instantly regrets challenging RFK Jr. on fluoride.
Rep. Mike Simpson: “We better put a lot more money into dental education because we’re going to need a whole lot more dentists [if we ban fluoride].”
The rebuttal was too easy for Kennedy.
RFK Jr.: “We now know that virtually all the benefit is from topical, and we can get that through mouthwashes. We can get through fluoridated toothpastes.”
Then he dropped the hammer:
“The National Toxicity Program issued a report in August, a meta review of all the science that now exists on fluoride, and showed a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure dose and lower IQ.”
“Which is an issue that we all have to be concerned with. We want high IQ kids right now,” Kennedy said.

"Froward," Mr. Wright? That must be a typo. "Contumacious?" Oh, it's a synonym for... froward.
His vocabulary needs to be registered as a lethal weapon. I appreciate the artistry in using both contiguously. I'd have never cracked open the dictionary for just "froward."
See Vol. 3, Catburgler of the Constellations. amzn.to/3SiKvDY The Starquest Books are excellent.

"Earlier this semester, an NYU professor told me how he had AI-proofed his assignments, only to have the students complain that the work was too hard. When he told them those were standard assignments, just worded so current AI would fail to answer them, they said he was interfering with their “learning styles.” A student asked for an extension, on the grounds that ChatGPT was down the day the assignment was due. Another said, about work on a problem set, “You’re asking me to go from point A to point B, why wouldn’t I use a car to get there?” And another, when asked about their largely AI-written work, replied, “Everyone is doing it.” Those are stories from a 15-minute conversation with a single professor."

TIL that an ancient Carthaginian explorer found an island populated with “hairy and savage people.” He captured three women, but they were so ferocious he had them killed and skinned. His guides called them “Gorillai.” While gorillas are named after them, it’s unknown what he actually encountered.

Here is the South African president openly stating that White-owned farms will be forcefully taken, without any compensation, by the state and given to Blacks.
Like 'Kill The Boer', he doesn't mean that though, and you're just a racist for believing what he says.

TIL a typical elephant tusk contains enough ivory to create 8 billiard balls. In the 1800s, demand for ivory was such that an award was offered for the development of an alternative. The first patent for an ivory-substitute was filed in 1867; it was used to make billiard balls through the 1960s.
