Reply to comment by FabulousEmotions 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
Nope. You're just very slept.

Reply to comment by _Haverford_ in TIL of Linda Morgan and during the collision of the Andrea Doria and MS Stockholm, she was lifted out of her bed and onto the Stockholm's crushed bow, landing safely as the two ships scraped past each other before separating. by Gorgeous_brgs
I'm sober, but on the same boat as you. So it may be a bit of 2 and 3.

Reply to comment by Matchanu in TIL that the red lights on top of tall buildings in cities are called “aviation obstruction lighting,” and are used to help pilots of low-flying aircraft avoid collisions with otherwise hard-to-see structures. by bearjew64
