Actually I learned this yesterday but it belongs in this thread;

I learned 3 things;

1. Don't share my business war stories with my multi millionaire friend (it pisses him off)
2. Don't bring up the subject of the effectiveness of intellectual business networking (it makes him feel insecure)
3. Don't ever mention how great it feels to be in a group of intelligent people (see #2)
3. Don't EVER ask him to justify his contention that Blackberry (he calls it f***ing bb now) is 'the best', godlike etc

I learned the term "open sesame" is actually because sesame seeds apparently "spring open" when they are ready to release their seeds.

That there are better ways to make money, than gathering empties as fast as I can. Also that God likes me to be big and that flare up of my soft tissue injury is trying to tell me that.

Vending machines don't like nickels.

I've learned that my temprement can change for the better. I have a much brighter outlook on life, than I did in the Spring and my favourite song is a much happier one. :D

I learned that a Swiss chalet on the outskirts of Geneva sells for $2 million. Not a bad deal.

I've learned that bureaucrats often spend more time talking amongst themselves about their latest and greatest whiny topic than actually doing anything remotely productive.

Flurries are brief, light snow showers.
The cartoon series, "Arthur", first aired in 1996.

That all this time I've been an undiagnosed narcoleptic and non-narcoleptics don't catch glimpses of dreams when they nod off.
