TIL they change the Credit Rating from 0 - 850 points; now it's 0 - 1,000.

In reply to 914Driver :

These days, seems more likely they would change it from -300 thru 850, and then offer to raise your rating for $10 per point.

Long, long ago U of Illinois used a grade scale of A= 5.0 until they finally changed to the 'standard' A=4.0.  Completely did not really matter, but it was a bummer to start a new semester and find out that while you were away your GPA had dropped by 1 point.

 

Technically not today: turns out it is a naughty word in British, except a noun rather than a verb, shortened version of the rhyming slang 'berkeley hunt'...

TIL those little plastic tabs stuck to bread packaging are called Occlupanids and there's an entire taxonomic system that categorizes them by shape and maybe color, I'm not sure.

TIR(Today I Realized) that Queen performed their famous Wembley Stadium concert in July 1986! That's nearly 39 years ago!!! We watched it this morning during breakfast and couldn't believe the energy that those 4 musicians/artists brought to the stage. Now I'm 59 years old and appreciate those artists that can grab a microphone, an instrument, sit on a barstool and captivate an audience with their talent. We enjoy listening to what I consider classically talented artists like James Taylor, Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, Billy Joel and the like. It's funny that all these years later you know ALL of the lyrics and can sing along to the entire hour and a half concert. 
 

I remember seeing this picture comparing todays horrid music compared to the classics. Not to start a debate, just comparing the 2 different genre of music.
