As the saying goes, you learn something new everyday... ideally. Did you learn something? What was it? Feel free to share.



Today I learned that there is a disorder called Best Disease, which causes blindness. Dang.

I'm afraid to know what Worst Disease is.

I learned that:

-I am Hitler
-FLCL and the pillows are available on iTunes
-people on live podcasts must edit out songs played over podcasts in order to put them on iTunes due to copyright purposes
-I have no idea how to fix an electrical fuse
-It's hot in Topeka California
-People with IE tend to have lower IQs than people who use FF/Chrome/Safari, with Opera and Camino users having the highest IQs

Today I learned that a wooden silver colored drumstick-pencil goes really well in the slot on the side of a fedora.
If that sounded boring and dull, wait a week. I'll have plenty of actually useful things I learn then...oh, yay for school...

Today, I learnt that it's very hard to find a site that will host your 36450x17700 image.

I also learnt that opening, saving or editing said image is a bad idea, even with a computer like mine.

Not sure if this counts but today I finally learned how to make perfect pancake mix that isn't too watery or too thick.

Thanks to A'bom, I also learned that Serendipitous means "a happy surprise".

Where do I begin? Well, for one thing, when exhaust is expelled from a nozzle at mach speeds and if the pressure within the free jet boundary is either lower or higher than the surrounding atmospheric pressure, a shock wave will bounce within the boundary and create what is know as a mach disk pattern or diamond shock. Very cool to look at in pictures. Even cooler to watch on youtube.

After this, I became interested in shockwaves, so I began looking into those. As we all know, shockwaves happen when there is a sharp change in pressure. However, did you know a shockwave can propagate through a vacuum if there is a magnetic field in it? Pretty cool, huh?

I also learned that if you put a belt on a person and have the side of the belt that is facing north vibrate constantly, it will give them super-navigation, even if they were already good at navigating. However, once the belt is removed (after a period of about six weeks), the individual will become crippled when it comes to figuring out where they are. Weird stuff.

Let's see... *reads a few Cracked articles*

The effects of 'Beer Goggles' (the more you drink, the more attractive others look) can be summed up with the following equation:



"An is the number of drinks consumed, limited only by your bodily fortitude.
d is the distance in meters between you and the object of your potential lust.
S is the smokiness of the room, rated between 0 and 10.
L is the brightness of the room, rated between 1 and 150.
Vo is a measure of your visual acuity, 6/6 being normal and 6/12 being "maced in the face.""

Apparently my computer can't run Windows 7 64-bit in a VM but 32-bit works.

Need more RAM.


Also ubuntu server setup is annoying.

fallout new vagas
fatman+wall=death
never should of tryed that

Today I learned Sherlock Holmes has Asperger's Syndrome.
Thanks Cracked. C;

Today I learned that:

-The link in my previous post in this thread has been changed to reflect that the study that claims that IE users have lower IQs than people who run other browsers was a hoax

Today I learned not to make lava lakes in Minecraft at night and then forget where your co-ordinates are, because when a spider pushes you in you're dead and you don't know how to get back.

Today, I learned that Turkey is G double O d ood

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned a valuable lesson about friendship, that Nyan Cat is adorable and is a great cat to be a friend of.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

I learned that in California, in the morning, it never stays cloudy for long, though it always is in the morning.

Today I learnt that nobody who I know IRL likes K-Pop. Or even think nothing of it. They all dislike it.

I had a sad. ):

Then I was all like "Screw them. My life."

Today I learned that it rained.. in California.. in the Summer..
wtf. Why didn't it rain over here. ;_;

Another thing I learned today: People who play Tetris after a traumatic event are less likely to suffer flashbacks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris#...s_on_the_brain

I learned Tommorow Is My Bro's Phantom's birthday. (Bro's are people who I think are really cool ex. Mods)

Today I learned Okamiden has a frigging beautiful soundtrack.

That Six Flags is fun! Its good to have friends with you on scary rides on front row.

Also... I learned that I'm not good enough...</3

Today, I learned that my band's Color Guard is 5 people, versus the 18 people I had previously though. That calls for both a sigh of relief and a facepalm.
I also learned that I REALLY need to take my laptop to the library for my volunteer work. And some headphones. I had like nothing to do for like 2 hours. It sucked.

Getting stabbed with a needle that's inside you hurts. Protip: Don't tense up when getting blood drawn.

I learned that the bird is the word.


And that Windows 7 hates old games.

Well, in lacrosse, I knew this already, but i still did it: CATCH BEFORE YOU CRADLE!
