• Reply to 'TIL in 2004 a man had his head brutally smashed with an axe on his sleep. He woke up like normal and adrenaline kept him up as he did his routine. He used the sink,did dishes and made breakfast while bleeding out. He was locked out while picking the newspaper and died trying to find the spare key' on /r/todayilearned:

  This is why I always check my head for an axe when I wake up

• Reply to 'TIL that, after winning an Oscar, Daniel Day Lewis retired to become a cobbler in Italy, only returning to acting after Martin Scorsese convinced him to star in Gangs of New York.' on /r/todayilearned:

• Reply to 'TIL that at $265 million, GTA V cost more to make than every Hollywood blockbuster ever made - except one: Pirates of the Caribbean 3, which holds the top record at $300 million. Rockstar has already made the money back on pre-orders alone.' on /r/todayilearned:

  $265 million divided by $60, that means at least 4.5 million copies of GTAV have been pre-ordered? Number seems way high
