Finns make used to make butter knives out of wood because in the days of forest and bog, metal knives were rare enough that you would have a puukko, a general purpose forged steel knife, and then use that for making a butter knife. That tradition stuck around to this day.

Touching is an anthropomorphic projection of the sense of touch to things that don't sense touch. So it can be whatever it needs to make sense without torturing yourself over the scientific mechanisms.

And ELP isn't El-P, which is a mistake a friend of mine made a couple of years ago when RTJ 3 was released. "Oh hey I thought Keith Emerson was dead, but apparently ELP are still releasing things?" not even close

I remembered what Chatroulette was from the Chatroulette thread in GBS years ago, but misremembered the name as Snapchat. I only figured it out yesterday when a coworker was talking about going back on Snapchat, and he didn't seem creepy enough to be on Chatroulette. They're both internet things with "chat" in the name that I was dimly aware of and never interacted with. I'm 34 and already feel hopelessly old and out of touch.

I recently discovered The Bobby Fuller Four and learned that "I Fought The Law" was not an original song by The Clash. Then a few weeks went by, and I found out that Bobby Fuller's version was itself a cover of The Crickets' own from the 1950s. At this rate, I'm probably going to unearth some evidence that it's an ancient melody once hummed by grave robbers during the reign of Ramses II.

Not something I just figured out but cool nonetheless: the carol "Good King Wenceslas" uses a tune that was originally for a Latin hymnal sung in celebration of spring, "Tempus adest floridum".

Sounds are formed from rivers and are V shaped while fjords are U shaped. But the dude who named it didn't know the geologic history of the island and just assumed it was a sound because there's no ice there now. That's your bonus geography lesson of the day thanks for reading

When I first learned about the band Portishead I thought it was pronounced Portis Head, but later I was informed that it (and the town) are actually “porti-shade” or “porti-shed” so I called them that for years. I looked it up again today and I was right the first time?
