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'm cheating a little bit, I learned this last night. I learned that the person who voices Raiden in the Metal Gear Solid games, (Quinton Flynn) is the same person who voices Axel in Kingdom Hearts.

I learned that most movies are shot at 24 fps and that it's been that way since the 20's, pretty stupid considering 30 fps is the minimum to be considered fluid motion.

I read about that last night. I'm surprised nothing was posted about it until today (yesterday AG time).

I learned that Mickey Rooney's real name was Joseph Yule Jr. I also learned that there's a new "Bug Killer" quest that a couple dozen people have earned already.

Some of this stuff I actually learned yesterday.

Yesterday, I learned that I don't have diabetes. Yay. Unfortunately I'll most likely get diabetes in my 30s, 40s, or 50s. Not yay.

Also apparently diabetes runs through my dad's side of the family.

Also if you eat something before a blood test or whatever at the doctor's, it apparently means you're high risk of diabetes. But actually, I wasn't suppose to eat for 8 hours before the blood test. Which I ate a poptart literally 30 minutes before the test.

The blood test happened 2 weeks ago but we didn't know about the eating thing until 2 weeks later at the doctor's.

Also my school band is learning the song Spy Chase.

I learned that legacy comments are being moved into Disqus format as we speak. All of the 17,000+ legacy comments from my messenger have now been Disqustomized*.

I also learned that the Tavern is sky high at the top of the community page, so as long as this thread is at the top of the Tavern page, it's also at the very top of the community.

*I have since trademarked this word, and thus I will receive royalties whenever it is used. You have been warned.
