What I learned in 2021
Writer Tom Whitwell's annual list of 52 things he learned during the past year includes these:
1. While recording the audiobook version of Charlotte's Web, author EB White needed 17 takes to read Charlotte's death scene because he kept crying.
2. There's a
Boeing 727 cargo plane that's used exclusively for horse transportation nicknamed Air Horse One.
3. People age at different speeds. "People varied widely in biological ageing: The slowest ager gained only 0.4 'biological years' for each chronological year in age; in contrast, the fastest-ageing participant gained nearly 2.5 biological years for every chronological year."
