My wife has been smelling gas at our fireplace insert for 25 years, and I refuse to tell her it’s electric.
INFORMATION I DIDN'T HAVE YESTERDAY
The amber bear amulet was found in 1887 in a peat bog near Slupsk, Poland.
When the figure was examined it turned out to be the amulet of a bear hunter, originating from the Neolithic period. It was dated at between 1700 B.C. and 650 B.C.
Not every war hero carries a gun
Ahmed Ademović (1873–1965) was a Serbian trumpeter who received the Karađorđe's Star military decoration for his involvement at the Battle of Kumanovo of the First Balkan War in which Serbia fought against the Ottoman Empire.
The battle started 50 km earlier than the Serbian troops expected as the better-prepared Ottomans surprised them. Ademović got behind the Ottoman forces and sounded his trumpet for retreat. He then ran back to the Serbian troops and sounded for attack. Ahmed's cleverness made him one of the heroes of the battle won by the Serbians.

Acquired Hypertrichosis lanuginosa
A 51-year-old woman presented with rapidly progressing hair growth on her face, neck, and upper body, findings consistent with acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa. PET-CT was performed, and a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma was made.
Lanugo is a fine hair normally present in the fetus and less commonly in the newborn (from the Latin Lana = "wool"). It is rarely seen in adults; in this case, it developed as a paraneoplastic phenomenon.
Zorro is 100 years old
This moral rebel, who leaps into battle with a smile and the motto “justice for all,” set the stage for all the gallant swashbucklers who followed. His agility at balancing alter egos spawned the seminal comic-book heroes Superman and Batman...
It was Fairbanks who first turned this creature of the pulps into a towering legend. Fairbanks was the producer-star and uncredited co-writer of the box-office smash, “The Mark of Zorro,” which opened throughout the country in December 1920.
Fairbanks introduced moviegoers to a Spanish aristocrat in 1820s California — a blue blood who believes in blue-state values: fair play for the poor and protection of the innocent. He flouts arbitrary laws and challenges corrupt and sadistic officials.
John Dillermand has an extraordinary penis.
So extraordinary, in fact, that it can perform rescue operations, etch murals, hoist a flag and even steal ice-cream from children.
The Danish equivalent of the BBC, DR, has a new animated series aimed at four- to eight-year-olds about John Dillermand, the man with the world’s longest penis who overcomes hardships and challenges with his record-breaking genitals.
Why cover the border wall with razor wire?
The United States side of the Trump's wall here is covered with an insane amount of razor wire. I can understand that this shows Americans viewing the wall that "we are super badass," but I don't see how this component adds to security. A healthy young person reaching the top could just jump past the wire, or let down a 20-foot segment of hallway carpet and then slide to the bottom. It looks like security theater to me.

Music From the Dorsalis Pedis
[The dorsalis pedis artery, is a blood vessel of the lower limb that carries oxygenated blood to the dorsal surface of the foot. It is located 1/3 from medial malleolus. It arises at the anterior aspect of the ankle joint and is a continuation of the anterior tibial artery.]
A 65-year-old man who had previously undergone bilateral hip arthroplasty presented with a dislocated hip after a fall. When a handheld Doppler device was used to assess the pulses in his feet was placed on the dorsalis pedis, it picked up music in addition to the pulse, as shown in a video.
The article at the link was outside the paywall initially; I don't know whether it will remain so. In the audio at the gif, the music is clearly broadcast by a radio station. The staff at the hospital tried using other Dopplers, all of which gave the same result, so it was not a Doppler malfunction. They then checked other patients' pulses but heard no music, so the phenomenon appears to be somehow caused by this patient's prosthesis. I like when they pan the camera to show him smiling about everything at the end.

Last Lines of Novels
But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest because Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and civilize me and I can’t stand it. I been there before.

He loved Big Brother.
–George Orwell, 1984 (1949)
‘It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.’
–Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities (1859)
Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would never leave that room, for it was foreseen that the city of mirrors (or mirages) would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.
–Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967; trans. Gregory Rabassa)
It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan.
–Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (1851)
He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance.
–Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)
He knew what those jubilant crowds did not know but could have learned from books: that the plague bacillus never dies or disappears for good; that it can lie dormant for years and years in furniture and linen-chests; that it bides its time in bedrooms, cellars, trunks, and bookshelves; and that perhaps the day would come when, for the bane and the enlightening of men, it would rouse up its rats again and send them forth to die in a happy city.
–Albert Camus, The Plague (1947; trans. Stuart Gilbert)
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God bless Us, Every One!"
–Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol (1843)
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. –George Orwell, Animal Farm (1945)
But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.
–A. A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner (1928)
The old man was dreaming about the lions.
–Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea (1952)
“Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”
–Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind (1936)

You left out the best part about the Bernie memes. You can no longer get those mittens. The woman who makes those mittens lost her business due to high taxes.
