Me: “OMG Barkley is on!!”
Normal person: “The what?”
Me: “It’s this crazy race in TN that only 20 ppl have finished in 40 years.”
Normal person: “Wow, are you gonna watch?”
Me: “You don’t watch, you follow some guy’s Twitter!”
Normal person….

Some interesting things I learned this year:
• 33% of the world’s population (= about 2.2 billion people) have never used the internet.
• 38% of Stanford students are registered as having a disability (likely many of these are gaming the system to get extra time on exams).
• HIV began spreading in the early 1900s in Africa but went largely unnoticed until the 1980s, as its deaths resembled other infectious diseases common in rural areas.
• Manhattan today has about 650,000 fewer residents than it did in 1910.
• Humans and octopuses evolved eyes independently, but in humans the optic nerve attaches in front of the retina, creating a blind spot, while in octopuses it attaches behind the retina, so they don’t have one.
• Global suicide rates have declined by about 36% since 2000.
• India is a major leather exporter, despite cows being considered sacred. Most hides come from water buffalo, which are not considered holy.
• About 82% of dogs used by South Korea’s quarantine agency are cloned. Training costs are less than half those of randomly selected dogs, since only top performers are cloned.
• Roughly 1% of the U.S. workforce is laid off each month, whereas in Germany it’s less than 0.1%.
• Light pollution is causing birds worldwide to sing longer each day, extending their vocalizations by an average of 50 minutes.
• Until the late 1980s, doctors often performed surgery on babies without anesthesia, due to the belief that infants did not feel pain.
• People with Down syndrome have about half the rate of solid cancers compared to the general population, likely due to anti-cancer genes on chromosome 21.
• At launch, SpaceX’s Starship produces instantaneous power equivalent to roughly 10% of the entire U.S. electricity grid.
• China has built, on average, roughly one large dam per day since 1949.

@fasc1nate Don't think turtle bay is right, wiki says "It was probably named after the turtles found in the area. Historical records from the 17th century described an abundance of turtles nearby, with local residents partaking in a "turtle feast". Also deutel doesn't mean knife in Dutch
