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 learnt a strange fact about "Mutter" song from Rammstein.

I found out that the song is about a man that's made from an experiment and he never felt the love of a mom but he wishes to have felt the love of one and had one.

Plus, the lyrics translated in English are creepy. Creepy in an awesome way.

I did it a few times while watching the hockey playoffs and the 2008 Formula One Grand Prix of Brazil because the winner was decided on the last turn of the last lap on the last race of the season under rainy conditions.
Hamilton won the driver's championship over Massa who was the winner until the last few seconds.
I was standing up, screaming at the TV, that was so exciting! xD

Must've mistaken you for another, sorry, stuff happens.

And for such articulate reasons, too. Hmm.

Usually it doesn't take this long, but the admins are quite busy, so if worse comes to worst, you can always give Ferret a tap on the shoulder as a friendly reminder.

I've learned... well, I've been reminded of how cruel somebody can be with other people's suffering. Even if you've know them for years. Mmm, people can be really surprising, not always in a good way.
