Humbling (or disturbing?) fact of the day: 60.1% of Americans voted against Abe Lincoln.

When I was a kid, I remember being puzzled why grown-ups apparently needed to put deodorant or antiperspirant on their forearms. No one I knew had smelly or sweaty forearms. I never actually saw anyone doing it in person, but they were constantly showing you how to in TV ads.

What makes someone good at what they do is not how hard it is; it’s their knowing how easy it can be.
