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

I learnt that the local recycling collection team will refuse to collect your recycling if there's "too much" of it. Point blank. Just left on the curb. My fault I guess for missing collection 2 weeks running through absent mindedness. I don't know, you try and do the right thing and recycle, but then...#grumble grumble grumble

Just spoke to a neighbour and it turns out the driver was off sick...my mistake...Lawz has an overactive imagination - news at 10.

Abraham Lincoln had a very high voice. So much so that journalists and contemporaries used to mention it all the time.

"“Lincoln’s voice, as far as period descriptions go, was a little shriller, a little higher,” says Holzer. It would be a mistake to say that his voice was squeaky though. “People said that his voice carried into crowds beautifully. Just because the tone was high doesn’t mean it wasn’t far-reaching,” he says.

"When Holzer was researching his 2004 book Lincoln at Cooper Union, he noticed an interesting consistency in the accounts of those who attended Lincoln’s speaking tour in February and March 1860. “They all seem to say, for the first ten minutes I couldn’t believe the way he looked, the way he sounded, his accent. But after ten minutes, the flash of his eyes, the ease of his presentation overcame all doubts, and I was enraptured,” says Holzer. “I am paraphrasing, but there is ten minutes of saying, what the heck is that, and then all of a sudden it’s the ideas that supersede whatever flaws there are.” Lincoln’s voice needed a little time to warm up, and Holzer refers to this ten-minute mark as the “magical moment when the voice fell into gear.”

King cobras are not actually cobras (they’re more closely related to mambas).  This makes them one of many misnamed animals, such as mountain goats and electric eels.

Also, most snakes are self-governing and have no truck with monarchism.

Did you know that if you add one baseball to one baseball that you can say you have three baseballs if you have sufficiently large balls?

Free Onlyfans pages are apparently a thing. So, I've decided to subscribe to some. Finding a few for girls who claim they never wear panties, but very little for barefooters.
