Reply to TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan.

Reply to TIL that in 1939 Ernest Vincent Wright wrote and published a 50,000 word novel, 'Gadsby' which does not contain the letter 'e' . A warehouse containing most copies of the book burned down. by Lupercali
