Reply to comment by tenehemia in TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone
Starting in 1975, there was great writing from Chris Claremont, great art from many top talents, and the characters themselves had a lot of appeal. It was a killer combination.

Reply to comment by R4G in TIL: WW1 Armistice Day was Nov 11th, fighting was to cease at 11:00 AM. An American solider charged a German machine gun nest with 16 mins left, and died at 10:59 AM. The last soldier to die in WWI. by wats6831
In the War of 1812, the US wasn't doing too good until Andrew Jackson won the Battle of New Orleans by killing over 2000 British troops.
The bummer was that the peace treaty had been signed in Europe 15 days earlier, but news traveled a lot slower back then.

Reply to TIL Billy Joel's 1993 album River of Dreams' cover is a painting by his then-wife Christie Brinkley. Rolling Stone later gave Brinkley the Top Picks award for "The Best Album Cover of the Year." by trifletruffles
I remembered when they quietly divorced. She was asked what caused it in one interview and just answered:
"Honesty is such a lonely word."
I was laughing about how savage it was to use a musician's lyrics against him.

Reply to comment by 54B3R_ in TIL: Sperms were thought to move by wiggling their tails side-to-side, like eels, for 350 years. But research shows that they roll as they move forward like a spinning top. by vect77
There's an urban legend about a morning biology lab in high school. The teacher had the students scrape their mouths and try to identify cells with a microscope, supposedly there's a few different types in the mouth.
One girl had blown her boyfriend before school and asked the teacher why her cell was different than everyone else's. The teacher looked and awkwardly said "That's a sperm cell."
