Who was the smartest person in your high school class and what are they doing now? (r/AskReddit)
- Odd_Doughnut_7178: For me it was a guy who flew under the radar and was incredibly brilliant. In high school, he programmed Zelda into his Texas Instruments graphing calculator played it during lunch. He is now a ranking member of the U.S. Army.

Astronomers and cosmologists of Reddit, what is one fact about the universe that sounds completely impossible to a layperson but is actually true? (r/AskReddit)
- MapWise3890: Here’s a crazy one: if you took all the DNA in your body and stretched it out end to end, it would be roughly 42 billion miles long. That’s enough to go from Earth to the Sun and back more than 200 times. All of that DNA is packed inside microscopic cells.
- astronemma: The fact that the Sun and the Moon appear roughly the same size in the sky is a complete cosmic coincidence. The Sun is 400x larger than the Moon in diameter, but it’s also 400x further away. We don’t know of any other Sun-Planet-Moon system that has this same 1:1 ratio. Experiencing a total solar eclipse — where a moon is just large enough to cover the star’s photosphere, but not so big that it blocks the view of the surrounding corona — is a Universally unique experience.
- MatthewHecht: An ancient Greek scientist calculated the size of the Earth using shadows. He was less than 1% off.
What is the worst use of cash windfall you’ve ever seen? (r/AskReddit)
- Mopper300: Probably not a windfall, but some years ago I was in the casino on a Friday evening and some guy walks up to the Pai Gow table, takes out an envelope STUFFED with bills, puts half the bills on the table, loses the hand, pulls out the other half of the bills, loses again, and walks away really, really pissed.
- Old_Imagination_2112: People from our church inherited just more than a million. Bought a new truck and went to the casino until all was gone.
- stephenBB81: A guy at my Marina won 50 million(no taxes) , upgraded his boat, got a Lambo, his brother got a Ferrari, a big pickup and some seadoos, and went on trips, within 4 years he had to sell all the toys and was broke working as a labourer in construction. Burning 50 Mil in 4 years is crazy bad management.
