Reply to TIL that in November 1954, a woman in Alabama survived being struck by a meteorite that hit the roof of her house, bounced off a radio and hit her in upper thigh and hand. She was left with a large bruise on her side but was otherwise not seriously injured. by g_man2522
Good thing she wasn't in the bathroom or it would have been a meteor shower

Reply to comment by il_duomino in TIL researchers found that the global average temperature from 19,000 to 23,000 years ago was about 46 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s about 11 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius) colder than the global average temperature of the 20th century, per a University of Michigan statement. by Embarrassed-Mouse-49

Reply to comment by TopHatInc in TIL JP Morgan bailed out banks in 1907 but a severe recession occured anyway. Nelson Aldrich, a powerful senator with close ties to Morgan, led a mission to Europe in 1908 to study the workings of the central banks in England, France and Germany. The Federal Reserve was created a short time later by mankls3

I had a 3 legged dog and for halloween we put a fake leg in his mouth like he chewed off his own leg. Ha. It was adorable.

I had a late 90s Jeep with the straight 6 engine and every mechanic repeatedly told me how great that engine was.
