I learned that the Great Wall of China isn’t one wall. It is various, often unconnected walls, built at different times, in different ways, by different people, for different reasons.
I learned that the “taste map” on the tongue is pretty much nonsense: taste buds all over your tongue pick up all tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter) the same way.
Do you have daughters? Girls size 16 are just about the same size as Womens’ size 5, too.
Today I learned nothing of interest, but this weekend I learned that people were around the same time as a 10’ tall, 500lb breed of kangaroo, and that is kind of terrifying.
The HELL you say! Ignorance fought I guess. So where did that taste bud map that we all learned in grade school come from?? I could have swore I saw a science show WAY back in the day where they put little drops of certain flavors on someone’s tongue and they couldn’t taste some things on some parts of the tongue. I want to say it was Mr Wizard, but I am not ready to accept that anything I learned from Mr Wizard could have possibly been wrong.
