Today I Learned...

I just learned that Fanta was a brand created during Nazi Germany that enabled them to get Coca-cola syrup into the country. The more you know! I dont even know if I've seen a cola-flavored Fanta.

I also learned that Christopher Columbus sold prepubescent girls to known rapists and murderers as slaves. When I was in school, they always painted the great "discoverers" in such a neutral/positive light. These people were sociopaths.

When I was in elementary school, which was a private Christian school, we learned the maypole dance. It wasn't mentioned, of course, that the dance represented a pagan festival of fertility; the pole being the penis and the ring the vagina. I find it interesting and surprising we did this, looking back. It was a lot of fun, though.

So I'm trying to acquire a taste for black coffee. It's bitter and whatever but when you concentrate on it to find other tastes, it isn't too bad. I just hate the bitterness that lingers.
