AI programs learn by reading text, some of the biggest ones have read the equivalent of millions of books! That is more reading than any human could ever do in a hundred lifetimes.
🏛️ The Reflecting Pool Size
The famous Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington D.C. holds about 6.7 million gallons of water  that is enough to fill over 10,000 bathtubs! No wonder it is hard to keep clean.
🌿 Scotland's Wild Side
Scotland has more wild red squirrels than any other country in the UK. They are now helping the environment by planting millions of trees  because squirrels bury nuts and forget where they put them!
🎂 Juneteenth Food Tradition
Red foods and drinks are a traditional part of Juneteenth celebrations including red velvet cake and strawberry lemonade. The colour red is linked to West African traditions brought to America by enslaved people.
👕 T-Shirt Origins
