Edumacation

I learned quite a few new things today.

Amongst everything, I just realized that the potato was first cultivated by South American Indians in 8000 BC and later introduced into Europe in 16th century.

Taiwan started getting populated around the same time.

The largest city in 9000 BC was in Iraq, with a whopping population of 150.

The first flute discovered was in China in 7000 BC.

Isn't this neat? I'm glad I have a job that has nothing to do with ... anything! When I get bored, I just look through the internet for awesome trivia that I otherwise would not have known.
