Day 361

My favorite/most interesting TIL (Today I Learned)s from Reddit today:

TIL that a survey conducted in two southern provinces of Afghanistan found that 92% of respondents had never heard of the events of 9/11

TIL Keiko, the orca who starred in Free Willy was released in the wild in July of 2002 after being in captivity for 23 years. A few weeks after his release, he showed up at a Norwegian fjord in hopes of seeking human contact and would even give children rides on his back.

TIL Will Smith actually was born in West Philadelphia

TIL of Lydia Fairchild, a woman from the UK whose ovaries carried the genetics of her sister and whose naturally-conceived children were, therefore, genetically not her own.

TIL Phillip V of Spain was made King of Spain without knowing how to speak spanish
