TIL a woman drowned in a Massachusetts public pool, but her body was not found until two and a half days later. Lifeguards were alerted right after she drowned, but they took no action. Health inspectors even inspected the pool while the woman lay dead at the bottom, but failed to find her corpse. [source, comments]

TIL that the memorial sign dedicated to Emmett Till, a 14-year-old african-american boy who was lynched for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi in 1955, have had to be replaced four times because people kept shooting them full of bullet holes. In 2019, a bulletproof sign was finally erected. [source, comments]

TIL that scientists used a dating method to show a Viking ax cut trees on the North American continent exactly 1000 years ago, in 1021 C.E. This dating method uses a spike in solar radiation that left a mark in tree rings around the world. This proves the Vikings arrived before Christopher Columbus. [source, comments]
