That, in Poker, drawing to four to an inside straight has half the probability of success as drawing to a Bobtail (four to a straight open at both ends) - but that drawing to four to a flush is more advisable than either.
I did not know until yesterday that the holes at the end of saucepan handles can be used to hold a cooking spoon that you use in the pan when it is cooking on the hob

Bone marrow or stem cell transplants (treatments for cancers like lymphoma or leukaemia) can turn humans into chimeras - meaning they 2 sets of DNA. If you tested the recipients blood, it would have the DNA of their donor, whereas something like a cheek swab would have the persons own original DNA. It can also change a persons blood type to a different one than they had previously.

i didn’t learn it today but the “&” sign used to be the 27th letter of the alphabet. It represents the word “and” and the alphabet in the early 1800’s used to be recited: “X, Y, Z, and, per se, and.” It would have been confusing to say “X, Y, Z, and.” So, the students said, “and per se and,” per se means “by itself,” so the students were essentially saying, “X, Y, Z, and by itself and.” Fast forward many years later and the former 27th letter of the alphabet & (and, per se, and) formed in language to the word “ampersand” - which is what we call the “&” symbol today.
I learned the other day that “arctic” is derived from “arktos” meaning “bear”. So Antarctic means no bears, and guess what? polar bears don’t live there.
