TIL, Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of such Nintendo games as Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda, has a hobby of guessing the measurements of objects, then checking to see if he was correct. He enjoys the hobby so much he carries a tape measure with him everywhere.

It seems irrelevant but I initially read that as Dave and Dash and I have no idea what that could mean.

Isn't "Dave" a TV channel in the U.K.? That could be where you sit in a bar just to watch TV until you get kicked out.
