Things I learned today:
1.) Timbuktu was actually an ancient pilgrimage site for scholars. Asia had Alexandria; Africa had Timbuktu.
2.) A traditional Chinese malaria cure is now being used to treat malaria today. There might be other cures out there we’ve forgotten; the only way is to test the claims and see if it works.
3.) Speaking of China: they now have a factory for cloning pigs.
4.) And there’s a DIY online on cocaine manufacturing. (No – don’t try this at home.)
