25 Things You Just Learned Today

1. Pokémon holds the record for “Most Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures Caused by a TV Show.”

13. In 1896, the first person was convicted of speeding. He was traveling eight miles per hour.
19. Wild parrots have names, and they refer to themselves and others by those names. Their natural language abilities are likely second only to humans in complexity.
