5 Weird Tidbits for the Day

• A Man Once Escaped Prison Using a Wooden Gun – In 1970s Texas, inmate Bobby Lee Wilson carved a fake pistol from wood, painted it black, and bluffed his way past guards. He lasted three days free before the jig was up.

• A Fungus in Oregon Covers 2,400 Acres – The Armillaria ostoyae, a honey mushroom, sprawls underground as the world’s largest living thing. One organism, eating trees for millennia—nature’s quiet takeover.

• A 17th-Century Pirate Wore an Eyepatch for Night Vision – Pirates like François l’Olonnais flipped patches to keep one eye dark-adapted for below-deck raids. Less “argh,” more tactical badassery.

• A Town in Norway Has a Mirror to Catch Sunlight – Rjukan sits in a valley so deep it gets no sun half the year, so they built giant mirrors on the hills to beam light down. Winter tans, engineered.

• A Medieval Recipe Used Peacock Feathers for Flavor – European cooks in the 1300s ground up peacock plumes to spice dishes, thinking it added pizzazz. Fancy, feathery, and probably gritty as hell.
