You learn something new every day, whether or not you realize it right away. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Today I learned the difference between bowler hats, pork pie hats and fedoras. Before today, they were all just fedoras to me. It never occurred to me that all three of these different hat styles had different names.

I also learned that Roseanne is Jewish, and that gummy shot glasses exist.

It doesn't have to be anything life-changing or significant or anything, just something that you learned. So AG, I ask you now, what did you learn today?

I learned that when people around you keep coughing and even though you never get sick, the bug will get you eventually.
Here I am today with 1 hour of sleep (maybe), a scratchy throat, runny nose, sinus headache, pain in my muscles, also on one side of my face, teeth and a dry red nose!!!
In other word I'm a mess. :O

I learned how ridiculously close this election is, especially in Florida. Right now Obama appears to be leading by about 1500 votes, but it's been a real tossup for those 29 crucial electoral votes.

I really don't care who wins the election. I just enjoy watching it because it makes me feel like I'm a part of things for once.

I learned about politics and the electoral college vote and other political because somehow the electoral college voting system has something to do with math according to my teacher

Because it was necessary! Trust me, I would rather I didn't have to do it. I'm just glad it worked out okay for once!

On another note, today I learned it is annoying when someone keeps trying to compromise with you when you don't want them to compromise when they are doing it because they think it is easier for you (but it really isn't, not that they will believe you).

You made the same mistaken Trump made. Obama actually captured a majority of the popular vote. But I agree that the electoral college system is stupid.

I had one box of orange Nerds left today. I decided I'd dump the entire contents in my mouth at once. Now, I already knew Nerds had a bit of a bite to them when eaten a few at a time, but I learned today just how intense an entire box of those things can be when you put it all in your mouth at the same time. Needless to say, I haven't experienced a flavor explosion of that magnitude in quite some time.
