Reply to comment by Laslopaniflex in TIL Daylight Saving Time (DST) was first used in 1908 in Port Arthur, Ontario (today's Thunder Bay). While Germany and Austria were the first countries to use DST in 1916, a few hundred Canadians beat the German Empire by eight years. by dremonearm

Don’t forget some spicy Bon Bons and a Coney Dog or two!!!

Thunder Bay is actually the amalgamation of two smaller cities Port Arther and Fort William that didn’t merge until 1970. This lead to the two half’s of the pre amalgamation city occasionally operating in different time zones.

Reply to TIL that retired pro boxer George Chuvalo was never knocked down in his 93 bout professional career. Which included fights against Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman. by MightGuy420x

When they asked Chuvalo who he thought should have won the fight between him and Ali he replied “he went to the hospital with a bleeding kidney and me, I went dancing with my wife”
