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 episode 37 of The Simpsons was the first episode in the series that was related to politics. Now there are several dozen, but that's to be expected considering the series is made up of over 500 episodes.

Really guys? A whole week and nobody learned anything?

I learned that, in Japan, Doritos come in many different "gourmet" flavors; none of which are actually relevant to Japanese food. I also learned that the admins did pull an April Fool's joke, but the only people who noticed it were people who regularly read the News column on the main page.

Jump to conclusions much? That's a pretty strong accusation to make out of the blue like that.

I learned that Fanta becomes more tolerable the more you drink it. I've always liked it but it used to hurt my stomach. Now it's just like water or Dr Pepper.

I learned that, since the prefix "oxy-" means "sharp" and the suffix "moro" means "dull", the word "oxymoron" is itself an oxymoron.

I learned how much of a strain it is to sit up straight when you've been slouching comfortably for so many years.

I learned that if I wear too many paracord bracelets on one arm for too long, my arm gets a dent in it.
It still has a dent in it, and it won't go away.

I learned to never buy cheap weed. Worst. High. Ever.
Seriously, it felt like my head was being crushed and that I was constantly falling. That's not relaxing at all!!!

I learned how little I care when my family leaves the house for 6 hours without telling me where they're going. Also, how much the bottom of my hand hurts from using the mouse and the keyboard all day.
