From Wikipedia’s newest articles:
- … that the chupare stingray (pictured) and the Pacific chupare are the closest marine relatives of the South American river stingrays?
- … that concert film Liza with a Z was thought lost in the NBC vaults for almost thirty years, before its rediscovery and re-release in 2006?
- … that all of the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis are located on a single, southwest facing slope overlooking the town?
- … that Geoffrey Cornish, a golf course architect, has designed a total 146 golf courses throughout his career?
- … that the Kommissarische Reichsregierung is a label for multiple groups and individuals in Germany and elsewhere who assert that the German Empire continues to exist in its pre-World War II borders?
- … that Happy99 was the first computer virus to spread rapidly by email?
- … that in 1863, Blackheath Proprietary School was one of the founder members of the Football Association?
- … that Dorothy Liebes, known as “the mother of modern weaving“, made fabrics out of feathers, bamboo, leather strips, plastic, and ticker tape?
