I've learned that when someone breaks the law if said person has vast amount of financial assets rest assured they don't face any prison time at all...

That Purolator sucks and next day delivery really means 3 days and counting delivery.

Learned that tears have a different chemical composition if they are emotional or other, i.e. from faking or from cutting an onion (Thank you CSI:NY)

Octopuses (or octopi, either plural can be used) are on the list of animals that must be given anesthetic when undergoing ex[perimental surgery, because they are highly intelligent. This rule is usually only applied to vertebrates.

I've been reading up on octopuses because I watched Finding Dory and wanted to see how similar Hank is to them. They are actually difficult to keep in captivity because they are smart enough to figure out how escape to escape from their tanks, so an octopus slithering around an aquarium building trying to avoid being caught by humans isn't all that unusual. Although it's probably unusual for them to talk, drink coffee and learn life lessons from an amnesiac regal blue tang.

You can get a lot of things done if you set up VLC player on one half the screen and code on the other.

Mr Alex Plank was in New Orleans today. Hope he doesn't die from heat stroke.

I learned how to do a pen and ink drawing.

I've learned the Tinky2 has an interesting avatar.

I learned there was a Star Wars "holiday special" film made for TV back in the 1970s. It was basically sci-fi meets 70s variety show. Good grief, what an appalling concept. There's even a bootleg copy of it on YouTube. It's one of those films that are so bad that I earnestly recommend watching it.

^ Link plz. (Hello, fellow Kpop fan! )

^ G'day.

Here's one link:


There's also a bunch of reviews and summaries online if you can't make it through the whole thing.

^ Yay, thanks dude. haha ~

(Actually this was a few days ago but)

The nice feature i talked about a few days ago that would cause massive incompatibilities, i fixed it (and took care of all incompatibility issues), but the feature wasn't so cool as i thought

i learned that theres a star wars holiday special in existence that is completely cringe worthy haha, could NOT make it through even 5 minutes.

what i properly learned though is that i am poo at hearthstone with my almost complete warlock (16/20 cards). the priest bot managed to flatten me, i could sort of tell when i was at 18 health and he was at 25 that i was screwed haha

...that you can cook a meal in a dishwasher
