Things I learned lately 28 Aug

• Airlines got really good at modelling the data of air travel to price and set route capacities. Covid threw that modelling data out the window, making it very difficult to predict how to maximize revenue while stimulating demand.
  
  
  
• Once it came out that high octane gasoline doesn't cost much more to make than regular gasoline, they had to try to justify the much higher price. Their excuse? To recoup all the advertising costs.
• A man from Kentucky is facing a $750,000 fine for breaking quarantine rules and detouring to Banff. He claimed he stopped to look for food. On the gondola up Sulphur Mountain.
• The Great Wall of China is not visible from space.
• Vikings did not have horns on their helmets.
• Eating right before swimming does not increase the chance of cramps.
• Baby birds touched by humans will not be abandoned. Birds can't smell humans.
• Undercover police do not have to identify themselves as police. Hollywood-induced myth.
• Evolution is not a theory.
• Humans and dinosaurs missed each other by 63 million years.
• We did not evolve from chimpanzees.
