    TIL that in 1983 the head of a woman was found in a peat bog in England. A man assumed it belonged to his wife, who he had murdered and dumped in the bog in 1961, and made a full confession. The remains were dated and discovered to be 1750 years old. The man was still convicted of his wife's murder.

    TIL how great the Walmart grocery app is, you grocery shop at home, pick the day & time you can pick up your order, they shop & load it up for you, they give you 10.00 off coupons towards your next order, plus if they don't have the size you ordered, they will upgrade it for another size at no extra cost...you can't beat it...

    My teen told me your favorite song is supposed to represent something that impacted your life. She told me this after she asked me to play my favorite song for her. She listened to the song and that was the end of it. I need to find a new 'favorite' song 😂

    TIL Mark Twain loved cats. Some reports say he owned as many as 32, he would write them into his stories, and would even rent them on vacation. He once wrote “When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction.”

    TIL retailers will often get in defective lower quality models of popular products, known as derivatives, specifically for Black Friday. These inferior models are made with cheaper materials and have different bar codes from the actual product. This makes Black Friday one of the worst times to shop.

    TIL: Beethoven was paid 4,000 florins a year from 1809 on the condition that he remained in Vienna for the rest of his life. This allowance was originally paid by three patrons but after the death of Princes Lobkowitz and Kinsky, Archduke Rudolph paid the amount in full until Beethoven died.
