The guy who shot john Wikes Booth was once solicited by prostitutes. He was so so appalled by his boner that he decided to castrate himself with pinking shears (scissors). He then goes to church and walks it off before seeing a doctor.

The real sad part is that he was undeniably driven insane by his work as a hat maker. Fur hats were shaped and then brushed with mercury, which led to hat makers getting mercury poisoning from the fumes.

Basically the poor guy melted his brain, chopped of his balls, enlisted into the union army and was forced to march on a boken leg, killed the most infamous man in the world, and was then locked up in an asylum.

Damn, that’s depressing. But considering the pandas sense of self preservation, it makes total sense.

355/113 is the best fractional approximation of pi with less than 5 digits on both numerator and denominator, with 6 decimal digits of precision. It is constructed by taking the sequence of the first 3 odd numbers, each repeated exactly once, as such: “113355”, then splitting the resulting string in halves, taking the first half as denominator, and the second as numerator.

A 4-set venn diagram can’t be constructed with circles because it wouldn’t show exclusive intersections between opposed sets.

A talks to B, B talks to C; A is married, C is not married. Therefore, a married person is talking to a non-married person.

for the third one because it stumped me a bit, there are 2 posibilites:

  • Am -> Bu -> Cu
  • Am -> Bm -> Cu

Either way there is a married person talking to a non-married person.
