# Did You Know

Wikipedia's [Did You Know?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Did_you_know) section highlights well-sourced facts from recently created or expanded articles. It's curated and refreshed at least daily by volunteers. A never-ending supply of conversation starters!


## Run

```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/dyk.py
```

Prints one fact:

```
