Reply to TiL it was Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" that popularized the expression "Merry Christmas". by thewickerstan

Reply to comment by JuzoItami in TIL Devon Allen, track & field athlete/Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, was disqualified in the World Athletic Championships for a controversial false start. The starting blocks measured his reaction time from the time the gun went off at 0.099, which is 0.001 seconds faster than legally allowed. by The_Critical_Cynic
This is the same standard for speed climbing.
