    Yesterday I reconfigured a Chrome extension to change the Hug reaction back to Awesome on my screen. I just discovered it changes every instance of the word "hug" to "awesome" on a webpage.

    That's hug.

    TIL that when Bill Watterson turned down the opportunity to license and merchandise “Calvin and Hobbes,” it was estimated that he was turning down $300-400 million to maintain the integrity and purity of the comic.

    A hug on your left-hand side is more heart-felt than one on the right, scientists have found.

    Like...literally? Because your heart is closer to the left?

    According to the study, it has to do with our brain hemispheres. The right side being the side that controls emotions and the left side of the body, means a strong emotion drives us in that direction.

    How do you hug someone on the left side only?

    Put your arm around them.

    TIL that the phrase "o'clock" is short for "of the clock" and comes from a time when people had to specify their time came from a clock instead of a sundial or other device.

    Aside from being the largest upload ever..... These are the expressions my brothers use to attract peoples attention, especially attractive women.

    I don't even think this is the largest upload I've made this month.

    Does your brother whistle or does he make hand gestures?

    TIL on 2009 Stephen Hawking held a party open to all, but only publicized the party after it was over so that only time-travellers would know to attend; as expected, nobody showed up to the party.
