Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL Australia sends all adults over 50 a FREE bowel/colon cancer screening test in the mail by Moronicon

They are testing for minute traces of blood, not whether the poop is human... Also in the UK we get them for certain age groups every 2 years. Any screening, diagnostics or whatnot is free at the point of care

Reply to TIL about the famous American novelist Winston Churchill who was the reason why the British prime minister referred to himself as Winston Spencer Churchill. They met on occasion, but gradually Spencer Churchill’s rise to power steamrolled the American into obscurity. by OneLastConquest

I got halfway through an encyclopedia entry thinking, wow, Churchill wrote so many books, and he was born in the USA, I never knew that...then I realized the wrong link in a list of UK prime ministers.
