Did you know that people never actually thought the world was flat? It was just in one fiction book and was misquoted down the centuries so that it became common "knowledge" that that was the belief.

Also honorific­abilitud­initatibus is the longest word in Shakespeare (it's in Love's Labour's Lost by the way)

And did you know that the most outspoken group of people in Nazi Germany, the group of people with the most rebellion groups were youth groups like the edelweiss pirates... (she says writing a history essay on volksgemeinschaft.)

Hope there's something new there.

What else, trusts and estates.

The young must know it; the old must know it. It must always sustain us, because the greatness comes not when things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes, because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

Did you know
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

God Bless!
