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 the criminals in Congress get free healthcare for life while they whine about Obama trying to provide for those who can't afford it.

TIL that the emergency department likes to make all their referrals to the medical registrar approximately half an hour before the registrar is due to end his shift. Why? They have a strange aversion to speaking directly to the consultant, despite the fact my consultant is a lot easier to refer to than I am. Just because I'm nice doesn't mean I'm not going to ask you a million questions and then possibly decline your referral... my consultant just lets everything through xD

Today I learned that there's a federal subject of Russia called the Republic of Dagestan. I had to look it up to see if it was a new separate country, but it turned out not to be, which is probably why I've never heard of it.

Oh? Where did you acquire such a controversial bit of knowledge?

Today I learned how hot hot mustard really is. I ordered a sandwich that came with honey mustard, but they accidentally put hot mustard on it. I could literally feel the burn all throughout my face.

I still ate the whole sandwich.

Today I learnt that thalidomide can be used to treat multiple myeloma... but it comes with cumulative dose-related toxic neuropathy. Thus the old dude on my ward who can no longer walk properly, though arguably he has at least 2 other problems that could have done that all by themselves and I now have to figure out which one is more responsible for what...

I learned that the original Zelda for the NES is really hard.

"HOW AMTO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?" is the entire game.

I'm just so used to easy games.
