    I could maybe get off of Glenwood. But I love Cedar too much to stop.

    TIL at the 1912 Olympics, a marathon runner quit and went home to Japan without telling officials and was considered a missing person in Sweden for 50 years. In 1966, he was invited to complete the marathon. His time: 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.379 seconds.

    TIL that a room known as ‘Room 641A’ in the AT&T telecommunications backbone houses beamsplitters capable of monitoring all the internet traffic in the US. It was largely thought to be a myth until PRISM revealed its existence in 2007.

    TIL that Mozart disliked performer Adriana Ferrarese del Bene, who was know for nodding her head down on low notes and raising her head on high notes, so much, that he wrote a song for her to perform that had lots of jumps from low to high just so he could see her head "bob like a chicken" onstage.

    Was it Mozart or Beethoven that wrote a song called "Leck mich im Arsch" and had a fart diary?

    Odd how classical music is seen as the height of culture when written by someone like that :tongue:

    I learned that once you give your heart to someone, even if you part ways, a little piece of you stays with them and you feel as though you'll never be complete again

    This is so true. But you move on and you learn to live with that little void.

    @pekovic_m I find this true up to a point, I also find a little piece of their heart stays with you to replace that which was lost to them. As the pieces are healed together, you heart becomes whole again. Time cures this. For the rare individuals who who only give and never receive, they eventually become heartless, cold and uncaring.
