What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

In 1721, a glacier near Mt Kotlugja in Iceland travelled ten miles in just three hours. Modern geologists surmise that volcanic activity created massive pools of water beneath the glacier, causing it to hydroplane. When it came to rest, the glacier covered seven square miles of ocean and rested on the seabed, projecting about 600 feet above the surface.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
Only just now did I find out that the song isn’t called “Little Black Spot,” but “King of Pain.”
How did I find this out?

I found out that in the UK now school children can't take time off school to go away with their parents for what we would call a holiday but Americans would call a vacation. When I was young you would just send a letter to the school saying we're taking some time off, see you later. I heard that now there's a fine for the children taking the time off.
It stems from rules of imposing a fine to the parents if their child is playing truant, seems like a bad rule to me. Along the same topic of conversation the same person told me that going on flights abroad cost more during the school holidays. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. RE: What Do You Know Today That You Didn't Know Yesterday?
