Today I learned that in 1667 nutmeg motivated the exchange of two islands (one which is now Manhattan) between the Dutch and the British.
I like learning new things, but I'm not a "trivia buff" so this exercise was okay. I probably won't visit it again.
I don't like being the party pooper, but I do have to write that I have a problem with this being on our Research and Learning page. I understand that it is relevant because people are learning something new, but it seems we have a continuous struggle to make the point that our databases provide reliable research compared to many Google, Wikepedia and general Internet searches. With that in mind, it seems to me that having a Google A Day on the same page as our databases is counterintuitive.
Please enter me into the drawing for the downtown gift card.
