China is leading the world in genome-mapping, Way, way ahead of any other country including the USA. This is possibly, by far, the most important scientific research being done today on the planet.
I was just watching MSNBC where a man had a baby... Now it is complicated u still have to be born a woman to make it happen. Two chicks wanted to be dudes- one had a complete sex change, but the other only took male hormones leaving a fully functional vagina. However, both live as men who happen to be gay and married. The former female who still has a "functional" womb gets artificially inseminated and becomes pregnant and that's how a man has a baby
Average per-capita consumption of Apples, globally, is 20 pounds per year. China produces 7 times the USA production of apples. World Mango consumption is 10 pounds a year per person.
1. Didja know starts out with a factual premise, and the comments then derive from that pre-set topic. Posters do not feel free to introduce new and unrelated topics.
2. Didja know is replaced every day with a new thread. So information contained in Didja Know simply disappears in the black hole at the bottom of the page.
3. Didja know cannot be referred to for a running mine of unrelated factoids by anyone who might be inclined to do so , for amusement, trivial, or educational purposes.
For example, I thought this fact was interesting:
Leonardo Di Caprio's mother's maiden name was Irmelin Indenbirken and she was from Oer-Erkenschwick.
Didja know . . . . (today's date) does not seem to be an ideal thread in which to post that observation. Nor, as far as I can tell, is any other thread. If one stumbles across an interesting piece of knowledge that one would like to share with the curious, exactly which thread in this entire forum is the appropriate place to put it? I shall be happy to post to that thread, if there is one.
I didn't realize until several months ago, that Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" was not recorded live. For the past 35 or so years I thought it was recorded at a concert until I wanted to hear the studio version. I couldn't find a studio version. Why? Because it is a studio version. Elton made it sound like a live version by adding applause and audience noise.
