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 I'm still allergic to puppies. And dogs. And cats. And things that have fur.
As long as we're on the subject of puppies.

I received Gigi's (my puppy) DNA test.
She's a mix miniature poodle (mostly), Pekingese and Yorkshire Terrier.
Most of her attributes are from the poodle.
She fits the character description perfectly.
She's smart, agile, playful, well behaved, enjoy learning tricks and she's acrobatic.
We call her circus dog because she's always standing on her rear legs and hop backward, sideways, and frontally. xD
When I tell her to shake, she kind of wink while raising her paw then she takes the treat.
Me and my wife really have fun with her.
She really helped us get over Noel's death.

I learned that I'm not going anywhere for the summer. Another year of sitting on the couch and relaxing with icecream in my hands and reruns of Friends.

This is the kind of trivia I appreciate.

I learned about Leibniz's Rule, how to determine which quadric surface a formula represents using traces, and that you should always let a phone menu recording list all options at least once before you select an option.
