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 my new puppy is a Pomeranian and Shih Tzu mix.
My GF named her Gigi because she likes to give our dogs French names.
She's a cutie but she's feisty. We're potty training her and keep her in a gated area. Somehow she got on top of her crate, jumped on the gate then jumped off and was running loose. Fortunately I caught her before she got in trouble. xD

I learned not to put another jelly bean in my mouth while already attempting to swallow one. I almost gulped the second one down whole.

Thanks, she's laying by me on the sofa right now. She's sleeping between me and her mother figure teddy bear the breeder gave us. xD

I learned while going to my mail box that hawks hunt even close to the human population.
As I was coming back inside I saw a hawk holding a robin in its claws and taking off in a hurry right in my yard. :O

Learned that my school really wants us to study for I-STEP. That video they showed us was just... horrible.

I learned that some people really get offended when suddenly you make a doge reference or joke and they don't get it.

I learned that today is Mardi Gras.

I also learned that username changes are now a thing. Just ask @Spartan (well, don't literally ask, since I just told you what you would be asking).

I don't get it. How dare you! Well, I never! The very idea!
