Stuff I Learned Today

  • To remove an appendix, first make a McBurney's incision.
  • The first disease known to be caused by a bacterium was anthrax.
  • The Tugela waterfalls in South Africa are over 2600 feet tall.
  • A guy named Pissarro was a famouos impressionist painter.

Look into:

  • Who was this McBurney, anyway?
  • Who was Pissarro?
  • Was there ever a guy named Tom Collins?

Fun category I'd like to write someday: "People From -Stan"
