TIL about the SS Wien / SS Po the only ship to have served in both World Wars and sunk in both wars. The SS Wien was originally in Austrian service but in 1918 was sunk by Italian frogmen. It was then raised in 1921 and purchased by Italy serving until 1941 when it was sunk by British Aircraft.

TIL about the “Patty Wars”. When Jamaican Beef Patty vendors were discovered in Toronto in 1985, the government attempted to ban them from using “Beef Patty” in the name. This led to an huge uproar, and it was eventually settled with an agreement to identify the food simply as a “Jamaican Patty.”

TIL that not only did Richard Edlund engineer the computerised cameras used in the original Star Wars but he also designed the original Star Trek font, was a highly respected rock photographer AND also invented the Pignose guitar amp. Wow.

TIL you can still go visit the ruins of the port of Carthage to this day. The structures were destroyed by the Romans in the 3rd Punic Wars 2200 years ago, but much of the manmade waterways remain.
