Reply to TIL that the country Singapore was named by a Tamil Indian king in the 11th century, and is an amalgam of the words "Singh" and "pura" meaning "Lion City" by GobindDev
Interesting/kind of sad that the modern city was built entirely from the ground up starting in the mid 19th century. There is absolutely nothing from the older history of the island that remains to this day, architecture wise.

Reply to comment by PushingAndShovingYou in TIL about the Javan Rhinoceros. A critically endangered species of rhino. Currently there are about 76 Javan rhinos surviving in just one country, Indonesia. by MightGuy420x
Java is insanely populated though. If the rhinos lived on Borneo or Sumatra, they probably would be in a much better condition.
