18 Interesting Tidbits of Random Knowledge
The world is full of interesting facts just waiting to be discovered. Some of it is actually useful, like learning how to 'seal' a partially opened can of food. Other things are just cool and interesting, like the creepy-a** outfits medieval beekeepers used to wear (Side note: I'm pretty sure this inspired the look for the Brewess crone in 'Witcher 3').
