I read today that meerkats are supposed to to be the most murderous mammal, i.e. killing their their own kind. I'm sure they're still a far cry from humans, who are also mammals, but having a meerkat tell you "Hakuna matata" is possibly the worst advice ever (although it's perfectly acceptable for them to even be speaking English, singing, hanging out with a warthog, adopting lion cubs etc etc).

I learned a new recipe today. I've been looking for a dessert like Silvanas. In case, you want to know, this is a buttery cream sandwiched between two cashew meringue wafers coated with cashew or nuts crumbs.

I learned that there's a YouTube channel called "Today I Found Out" that's similar to this thread. I came across one of their videos on why homosexual people are called "gay" these days. So I learned that too, today. :P

I found out that a very young and short haired Frank Zappa appeared on the Steve Allen Show in 1963. The reason he was on the show was to demonstrate his abilities to play bicycles as musical instruments. Saw the clip on U Tube.

I've learned that if all people are not allowed to vote that in itself tends to undermine democracy as a whole

i realized i had given too much control over my outlook on life to individuals, who could easily ruin my own composure and stability when so inclined.
