Reply to comment by tossinthisshit1 in TIL A coal seam in Australia is believed to have been burning for 6,000 years, making it the oldest coal fire. The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone

Fantastic guide.

When I was a kid I used to think the line "trouble in the Suez!" was "trouble in the sewers!" because I was a child and didn't know what the Suez was. Around the same exact time, I walked out into the living room while my mom was watching IT and it was the part where Pennywise was trying to lure Georgie down into the sewer. So I spent an unreasonable amount of time in 1990-'91 thinking there was some epidemic of child-murderers lurking in the sewers.

Haha. Similarly my first musical memory was at 3 or 4 years old and it's sitting in the back of my mom's car thinking BJ is singing "Harmonicaaa harmonicaaa."

The tune made sense in my preschool head. :-)
