TIL That FDR proposed the ‘Four Policemen’ where the US, UK, Soviet Union and China would each would control and oversee their sphere of influence.

TIL that there is an annual income requirement of 2000 pesos to become president of Argentina, placed in 1853. However since its not adjusted for inflation its the equivalent of $2.50 today instead of the original 3.3 kg of gold ($220,000) [source, comments]

TIL in 1912 Teddy Roosevelt was shot on his way to his presidential campaign.

TIL Marlon Brando who played a human in the movie "The Island of Dr. Moreau" had a demand where he wanted to remove his hat at the end of the movie and reveal he was a dolphin all along, the director refused. [source, comments]
