Reply to comment by AnthillOmbudsman in TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212

My design was very revolutionary~

Then some jerk named Charles Annan

A real pathetic charlatan

Tried to steal it, but couldn't beat her testimony~

Aww, won't you take me home tonight

Aww, set me down, i stand upright

Aww, i swear nothing will ever fall out

Flat bottomed bags you make the grocery world go round~

Reply to comment by hardly_trying in TIL different kinds of tea (black, green, white, oolong) come from the same plant. The only difference is in how the leaves are processed. by wombat-slayer

Yes, i am South US and southeners really like to do things the easy way, it becomes a bad habit that's hard to break. I may get into it, I'd have to get all the things though. I just found out there's a tea bar not too far from me that uses loose leaf tea too, so maybe i can try some there as well.

Apparently, i am a heathen who has probably been causing the tea gods severe depression because i do both of the things you said not to do. Lol I've never had loose leaf before, it always seemed like a hassle to get into, but I'm also a very lazy person.

Reply to comment by lego_office_worker in TIL 'The Land of Nod' is originally a biblical reference of a sort of purgatory where Cain was exiled after murdering Abel -- rather than a 'dreamland' sleepytime dealie as it is now colloquially known. by quicxly

Random idea of someone who doesn't know too much about this topic and mostly just thinks this would make a fun story: what if all of Earth was actually Eden, and The Land of Nod another planet? Or, the opposite.
