You learn something new everyday: what did you learn today?

Deus ex Machina = from Medieval Morality plays.

I studied some constitutional and rule books for CIU to put some matters I was concerned about to rest.
I learned a lot about my rights as a Club employee today.

In his later years, Charles Darwin couldn't stand anything artistic--music or paintings or otherwise.

Linkara, the guy who reviews comic books that are (usually) really bad, once created a comic himself that was also really bad. He's not exactly proud of it, either.

I learned that a band I like, Set it Off, actually has a hand sign.

Before I saw it in a music video which was set in a church and I thought they were praying.

I learned that my present stereoization algorithm has some tonal flaws.

i found out that i'll probably have to take off the air filter and a couple of attached hoses (and their respective hose clamps with screws) to be able to reach the fuel filter, if i want to change it.

it's a banjo fitting style filter, and hose obstructions notwithstanding, removal/replacement seems simple enough. the real problem i have is relieving the fuel system of pressure, and i can't do the fuel pump fuse removal trick, because the ump doesn't seem to have its own fuse...

and avoiding leaks! using new crush washers, o rings...VERY important, as i have learned recently...


oh, and lots of little things about the female endocrine system and its intimacies. i read about them, at least.

I learned that there are many, many manga/anime characters based on Rei from Neon.

That giving two of your own cartoon characters the same first name when they are both in the same "universe" of characters without realizing makes you feel really stupid. Especially if you display the pictures of them on Facebook and had them up for over a week before you noticed.

I just deleted one of the pictures and now I'll have to rename the character that was in it. Finding good names for characters can be hard.

Oh, and the grasshopper mouse I mentioned earlier? They also kill and eat other mice. I always forget the best parts.

I learned more about Pokemon type advantages...even though I've been playing the games for nearly ten years now.

I learned that we all have very embarrassing moments... I learned of 4 people's embarrassing moments today.

I learned something awesome about the Doctor from Doctor Who, but...spoilers.

...that I dipped my toe in the water, too soon, and, perhaps, with more time, I will be able to function, properly, in other areas. No regrets in trying, however...

I learned more details about when and how my friend's father killed her mother when she was a kid.

The opposite of chaos isn't order; its stasis.

I learned that there are many people that don't care... but there are many that do. Like myself, I care. Surely I'm not the only one.

And stasis can be chaos.
