TIL

Today I Learned, from Reddit:

"TIL in 2011 the city of Portland, Oregon discarded 7.8 million gallons of drinking water, not because of the dead animals 'regularly found in the drinking supply,' but because a drunk 21-year-old peed in it." * * * * * * *

"TIL that a 2005 study found that the scores of 'wine experts' are essentially meaningless, revealing that a typical judge's scoring of a wine varied by plus/minus four points over three blind tastings poured from the same bottle." * * * * * * *

"TIL only 8 teams have won the NBA championship in the last 30 years." * * * * * * *

"TIL that 160 people were able to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar accurate to .1% when their answers were averaged. Out of 4510 beans, the average guess was 4514."
