Learning something old every day

It ain't over till the fat lady sings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I got curious about the origin of that phrase this morning and so I looked it up. turns out, it’s not nearly as old as I would have guessed: Wikipedia puts its first use at 1976. (OK, that might seem a long time ago to some people but to me it’s the day before yesterday.)

And the first guy who said it was not Yogi Berra. Berra said, “It ain’t over till it’s over."
