   @RickiTarr The samurai were officially abolished as a caste in Japanese society during the Meiji Restoration in 1867.

   The first ever fax machine, the “printing telegraph”, was invented in 1843.

   Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.

   Which means there was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln.

     This was a fun one, so let's do it again. What is something you've learned that seems unlikely, even though you know it's true? Here's one I think about a lot:

     Sight, while being something something many people are born with, is not an innate ability, but something we learn to do. People who were born blind or were blind for a long time, who get sight, have to learn to see.

     mark repeated this.
