TIL: Today I Learned... (8 Viewers)

How long have you lived in Louisiana?
but i graduated from Walker High School (in Livingston Parish). they didn't teach us large words like that. i think the biggest word they used related to politics was corruption.. lol
i was probably 25 years old before i knew what colusion meant..
 
TIL, while watching the latest episode of Club Random- that Bill Maher has never seen the movie Back to the Future…. I just dont understand how anyone, esp anyone in the entertainment industry- could have avoided that film for the last four decades .
 
TIL that I'm not as coordinated as I thought....


There was a subset of dancing starting in the late 50s that tried to deconstruct the habitual movement patterns of the body
Once you start isolating individual ‘articulators’ (body parts) you get tons of variation
Then you add modifiers on top of that (slow/fast, percussive/sustained, curved/straight, et al) and THEN you add musicality on top of that
Like imagine doing that same arm exercise but the right arm in a wide curve is staccato in 4/4 time while the left is folded at elbow but is doing smooth, sustained movement
All the while your legs are moving in waltz time

Then once you have that, throw in some articulation for the head and curves and arches for the spine
 
TIL in 1940s Germany a pharmaceutical company asked the Nazis for 150 healthy women for experimentation. The Nazis complied. The researchers later thanked the Nazis for their contribution, sent their regrets that all 150 women had died, and then requested 150 more women. That company is Bayer.
