Today I have learned....

TIL... That scientists at Roehampton university found that volunteers got two more questions right, out of twenty on a video they had just watched after walking backwards for ten yards. This was two more than forward walkers or those that did not walk at all.

Have you learnt anything today?

TIL.......Kopi luwak or civet coffee, is coffee that includes part-digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). Fermentation occurs as the cherries pass through a civet's intestines and comes out of it's bottom where it is collected by farmers.
