  1. TIL that modern toilet paper was invented around 1857.

    But... a 'splinter free' version of it wasn't introduced until the early 1930's...

    Yeah... you read that right... early toilet paper would have splinters in it.

    Imagine wiping your arse and getting a splinter in ya chocolate starfish.

    Try explaining that to the nurse...
