Fortunately, I also learned why mammals are not green. http://shkrobius.livejournal.com/176833.html

I've learnt that hippos mate and give birth underwater, the only mammals other than cetaceans (dolphins & whales) to do so.

I've learned that if people want to believe that you are arguing against them, then it doesn't matter what you say because your words are irrelevant to the debate.

I learned that a human knuckle is easily mistaken for a peanut in the eyes of a squirrel. (I've got to be more careful when I feed those guys... No, it didn't bite me but it did put its mouth around my knuckle)
