The soybean plant's scientific name is Glycine max. Apparently it was named Phaseolus max, until they found out that the soybean isn't part of the same genus (Phaseolus) as regular beans, so they moved it to the correct one. Soybeans don't contain an especially high amount of glycine, and they're not sweet (glyco- being sweet), so it's a weird name

Neuro-linguistic programming was created in the 1970s by two men called John Grinder and Dick Bandler. Nominative determinism wins again.

I got to learn all about [COMPANY]'s awesome culture and how it made them #1! See they have what they call the cultural flywheel, in which culture drives growth, which in turn drives innovation, which drives business outcomes, which drives growth so its an endless virtuous cycle! This is a key component in their overall business strategy and why you need to show up every day PUMPED and ready to kill it!

See sanguinary you're not thinking of the outcomes. Imagine if [COMPANY] accomplished [MISSION STATEMENT]! Everyone in the industry we support would get to work less, as they were so much more productive. That is absolutely and definitely how capitalism works!

Yeah but your pump is seriously lacking. We've noted it on your core competencies and this is a clear area of opportunity for you.

I'll pump your damn action shotgun if you give me a "meets expectations", bud

I learned that Tuffy the dolphin delivered supplies to SEALAB II.

[Great Joe]

I learned that sometimes, mostly-rotted sealife carcasses will just, float up to beaches around the world, covered in tiny hairs and while a lot has disappeared off them, they still weigh several tonnes.

And they're called globsters.

I learned that some ultraorthodox jews will avoid eating certain leafy vegetables because it's impossible to guarantee there aren't any insects hiding in there and eating them would not be kosher

Welcome to the world of overreaching jurisprudence that imposes more and more rules, I wouldn't know why. I just found out about it from a religious student asking a question in a course I'm in about mushrooms. The topic was that endosymbiotic mushrooms could be used as insect repellents in commercial crops
