Today I learned “Who Let the Dogs Out” by the Baha Men is actually a cover. It was originally written by Anslem Douglas, a soca musician from Trinidad, in 1998 - two years before the Baha Men’s version.Same thing with Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy", it's originally by The Strangeloves and is from 1965. The versions are very similar, but the Bow Wow Wow one doesn't have a saxophone

I learned that the fairly famous German TV series about a crime solving K9, "Inspector Rex", had a made-for-TV movie which chronicled the dog's origin story, called "Baby Rex - Der kleine Kommissar". The only critic review cited on IMDB comes from a blogspot site, which has this paragraph:Not to be not picky but I figured I'd stick to the title of the thread and learn you something new. It's actually an Austrian and Italian co production which is why a few seasons in Rex moves to Italy and I guess learns Italian?

Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653; it was last updated in 2021.[11] The design was frozen after version 3.0, and no new feature or fundamental change will be added, so all newer versions will contain only bug fixes.[12] Even though Donald Knuth himself has suggested a few areas in which TeX could have been improved, he indicated that he firmly believes that having an unchanged system that will produce the same output now and in the future is more important than introducing new features. For this reason, he has stated that the "absolutely final change (to be made after my death)" will be to change the version number to π, at which point all remaining bugs will become features.[13] Likewise, versions of Metafont after 2.0 asymptotically approach e (currently at 2.7182818), and a similar change will be applied after Knuth's death.[12]
I learned that the intro to a news story is spelled lede and not lead, because a part of the linotype machine they used to print newspapers was already called the lead, so they misspelled "lead" to not confuse people. Then I found out that lede only started to be used at the very end of the linotype's lifespan so that's probably not true.
I didn't learn anything.

The fungal attack changes the cell structure of the wood, reducing its density and simultaneously increasing its homogeneity. “Compared to a conventional instrument, a violin made of wood treated with the fungus has a warmer, more rounded sound,” explains Francis Schwarze.

The oldest known treatise on anatomy is an Egyptian text dating back to 1600 BC and covers topics such as surgery and gynaecology and full records of 48 cases of injury and their treatments.
It's also named the Edwin Smith Papyrus after some dickhead who bought it in the 19th century. Way to ride on the coat-tails of possibly the oldest pioneers in medical science, asshole.
EDIT: Moron didn't even translate the papyrus himself or anything. Fucking come on. He bought it, got someone else to translate it for him and the thing is still named after him. Complete bullshit.

In 1948, Carl Barks’s domestic life was a mess. His second wife Clara was drinking hard, coming apart at the seams. By his account, she was increasingly violent, tearing up his comics and throwing his original artwork out the window, threatening to rip it up. In 1950 she developed cancer and surgery left her leg amputated at the knee. Barks built her a prosthesis. Having no insurance, he paid the medical bills out of the page rate he was receiving from Western Publishing for his duck comics. The alimony he would pay to her for thirteen years after their divorce the following year too.
These comics were the best of his career. Work was an escape for him: “When the dishes would stop flying, the bottles breaking, why, I could sit down and the ideas would just flow in on me,” he recalled in 1973. And indeed, his work of c. 1948–54 ranks amongst the most consistently inspired, inventive, touching, and plain fun in the history of comics.

Before recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH) was developed in 1981, HGH was only available by extracting it from the pituitary glands of cadavers.
Some scholars think that “the son of man” is just a Galilean Aramaic idiom to refer to one’s self that Judeans and Greeks didn’t understand and translated literally, so Jesus might have been saying the equivalent of “For even Yours Truly did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”In modern hebrew the word human is בן אדם, which is literally "son of Adam", shortened to "adam" when just referring to a man. The name Adam comes from the Hebrew root א-ד-מ ('-d-m), which is the root for the word for earth as well as the one for the color red

The modern vaginal speculum was developed by J. Marion Sims, a plantation doctor in Lancaster County, South Carolina. Between 1845 and 1849, Sims performed dozens of surgeries, without anesthesia, on at least 12 enslaved women. In these experiments, Sims developed a technique to repair fistula and in the process invented the duckbill speculum. These experiments, and the development of the modern specula, led some to regard Sims as the "father of modern gynaecology."

In PHP, the scope resolution operator is also called Paamayim Nekudotayim (Hebrew: פעמיים נקודותיים, pronounced [paʔaˈmajim nekudoˈtajim], the second word a colloquial corruption of נקודתיים, pronounced [nekudaˈtajim]), which means “double colon” in Hebrew.
The name "Paamayim Nekudotayim" was introduced in the Israeli-developed[1] Zend Engine 0.5 used in PHP 3. Although it has been confusing to many developers who do not speak Hebrew, it is still being used in PHP 7, as in this sample error message:$ php -r ::
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM
'nekudatayim' is also the fairly rare dual (as opposed to singular and plural) noun form that Hebrew mostly got rid of, so it's literally dot+dual suffix, while the colloquial version is actually an incorrect addition of the suffix to the plural, being equivalent to dots+dual suffix. paamayim is also a dual, but it's correctly applied to the singular 'paam', which means once, making it twice.In PHP, the scope resolution operator is also called Paamayim Nekudotayim (Hebrew: פעמיים נקודותיים, pronounced [paʔaˈmajim nekudoˈtajim], the second word a colloquial corruption of נקודתיים, pronounced [nekudaˈtajim]), which means “double colon” in Hebrew.Spooks, March 19, 2022, 02:51:58 pm

Naked figures with breasts and hollow backs might be related to elves (fairies).
In medieval folklore, elven women are connected to lakes, streams and bogs. They are beautiful but dangerous creatures. They can enchant people, and sexual intercourse with an elf leads to losing one's soul.
The elven woman Slattenlangpat (directly translates to 'saggy-long-tit') is described with her breasts hanging below her waist. Her long breasts symbolise fertility, and with them, she feeds her fish children by laying down on a rock or bridge by the river and tossing her tits out into the water.
Every night she is hunted and caught by the Nightrider, a figure with solid connotations to Odinn. Followed by dogs, he flies away with her splayed across his horse. The next night, she comes back to life, and the hunt starts over.
Thus a tiny elven woman in gold might have been a suitable sacrifice to Odinn, as this was what he put down on his nocturnal hunts.
In 1984, Peng Liyuan was still studying at the China Conservatory of Music. Her teacher Jin Tielin and painter Jin Shangyi were neighbors. Jin Shangyi needed a few models. Mr. Jin introduced three students from China Conservatory of Music. Among them was Peng Liyuan. This painting was painted in the home of the painter Sanlitun. It took five and a half days to paint from life, more than three hours a day, and then processed it. During this period, the painter saw the Northern Song Dynasty painter Fan Kuan's work "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest". He liked the Northern Song Dynasty. The landscape is rigorous and classical, so he tried to express the sense of volume in the ordinary, and created the painting.
Today I learned, flimflam is an actual word meaning nonsensical talk. My relative I've heard called "flimflam" my whole life that isn't his actual name. People are just making fun of him behind his back and I thought that was his name.
