Today I learned that Grand Coulee Dam, in addition to having the highest output of any dam in the United States, is three times the size of the largest Egyptian pyramid, and has enough concrete to make two four-lane transcontinental highways.
I also learned that The Supreme Court (I think?) ruled that Mount Rainier's name should be changed back to Tacoma in 1924, but the change got held up bureaucratically and never actually happened.
