I learned never to apply Icy-Hot Cream to genital areas. It was an accident, as I was applying it to my upper leg area as it has been hurting lately. Some of the cream found its way...to...ahem....and it burned like hell.

Anyone else?

I learned that a sulky is a two-wheeled horse cart.

Some cheeses are evil. It's just the way it is, but you have to keep it away from the other cheese so they don't get corrupted as well. *Smack* Down boy!

But a good Brie would never do anyone harm. Or a cherry-flavoured mild cheese.

Mmmm... Cherry :fluffle:

I learned that rubbing alcohol smells bad and still doesn't get sharpie marker off the wall. Toothpaste seems to be working though.


I also learned that when playing My little pony, that my 2 year old has a pony who is transgendered. It's okay though his family still loves him. ;)

i learned if there's a shop nearby, don't use the bloody vending machine because its guaranteed to swallow your money and get stuck... bastard things. grr...

That Finland didn't lose a single T-34 tank from the beginning of the Continuation War, through the Lapland War, and right up until 1961, when they were finally retired from service.

I have learned to hate my neighbor's barking dogs even more today than I hated them yesterday. I have learned the email address of the City Attorney and written her for advice on what legal action I can take. I have learned, although not today, that my next house will sit in the middle of 1 to 3 acres so if I have neighbors with barking dogs, they won’t bother me.

I learned that Joseph Epstein did not have French citizenship.

Oh, I also learned that Aldi's only accepts cash, debit cards, and Aldi's credit cards. So, we looked around instead of shopping and found out their prices are excellent. Next time we go we will have cash as we do not have a debit card.

I've learned to hope.
And I've learned that I desperately need more friends again.

I learned that by preforming CPR, you are not actually trying to save the victims life (you have less than 1% chance of doing that) but actually to preserve soft tissues for possible organ donation.

Are you serious? That's disturbing.

That's a good thing to learn. Hope you don't loose it... :)

My friend (who's getting signed with his band by the way) used to sing a song called, "Don't Masturbate with Icy-Hot."

Special relativity and spacetime :)

I've learned to hope.
glad to hear it CW :) :fluffle:

what was it that swung you round? (if you don't mind me asking)

I learned that Sav-A-Lots sells cornbread mix for $0.29 for enough to make 6 muffins. I love cornbread.

I did that once. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, ever.

I learned that Gone in 60 Seconds, starring Nicolas Cage, isn't a very good movie.

Other than what I was studying, I found out that some coffee machines may have less cups than coffee.

I learned today that firstly, pepper is a real pain to wash out of your mouth, and even harder to wash it out of your nose. Secondly, I learned, that my friend IS mean enough to pin me to the ground to find that information out. I need revenge.

Apparently one of the tricks for removing Sharpie marks is to draw over them with a dry-erase marker, and then just wipe them away with a dry cloth. I have no experience of whether this works or not, but have heard several people describe this procedure.

I learned that olive oil is a very good lubricant. :)

Gold Bond powder in the same area is absolutely heavenly.

wow. I have incredible luck then, since I have saved 2 people with CPR....or rather they had incredible luck.

Today I learnt nothing.

Well, I'll give it a go, like.

Whether or not MSN is willing to comply, unfortunately, is a different matter...:( :(

I don't know if that will work on walls but I know from experience that it does with white boards and mirrors. So it's worth a shot.

I learned how to make a black powder bomb (in theory, anyway), but I have yet to test it out.
I also learned to love again, to always bet on black, and found a list of movie clichés. If you think those things are all related, then you are probably smart enough to write an American movie script, but only as long as you remember to include a romantic subplot and a drunken cop with a heart of gold.

Me and Dakini learned how to properly cut a pineapple.:cool:

I was about to say "nothing", but just from this thread

- I re-learned that Gravlen really, really loves cherries

- I learned that Aldi has their own credit cards :eek:

- I learned that if I buy coffee form a vending machine in Finland, I better be prepared to drink it out of my cupped hands

- I learned that H N Fiddlebottoms VIII learned to love again *awww*

- I learned that more people than I thought didn't know how to properly cut a pineapple.


Not bad for one thread on NS General, not bad at all.

- I learned that H N Fiddlebottoms VIII learned to love again *awww*
Yeah, but I forgot again 39 minutes later. I think it had something to do with toast and cheese. No, wait, that was Cheese on Toast, never mind.

My friend (who's getting signed with his band by the way) used to sing a song called, "Don't Masturbate with Icy-Hot."

:D Did he/she ever try "Deep Heat Rub?"

Are you serious? That's disturbing.

That would be disturbing.

I learned that olive oil is a very good lubricant. :)

A very good, healthy, and tasty lubricant. :D

Aw, look, how cute, he's denying everything. Fiddlebottoms, everybody knows you're a hopeless romantic at heart. Here, have a fluffle or two: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Ach, but sure I already knew that :p

Wait, how'd you learn it the first time then?

Aw, look, how sweetly he's denying everything. Fiddlebottoms, everybody knows you're a hopeless romantic at heart. Here, have a fluffle or two: :fluffle: :fluffle:

He'd better be or all this stalking I've been doing will be a great waste of time.

Sounds like he needs some cookies too. Here are a couple...hope you like chocolate chip. :D

Indeed, the Roman Empire was one of the greatest things to happen to the ancient Western world, and the innovations in war and technology that they produced/stole have influenced the world dramatically for the better.
They also produced damn good drama and killed Jesus, so you'll find no better proponent for the Romans.

Tee hee, look at him ramble. Fiddles is in luuuurrrrrve. :fluffle:

Today i learned that the Leafs probably won't make the playoffs, Lego is fun no matter how old you are, and chipotle tobasco sauce goes great in Kraft Dinner.

gah.......I just had a "duh" moment, so I have just now learned that when I am tired my brain doesn't work well.

So, my kids were playing in the dirt today, and I was thinking "you know what's cleaner than dirt? sand." so I was sitting here looking up sand tables, to price one and find one that I could afford and like and all, and I am thinking "geez, these are expensive, it's just a table......" it took me like 20 minutes to realize that I could just buy them a rubbermaid type box and fill it with sand and be done with the whole thing for about $30.00:headbang:

(the cheapest sand table I found was $150,00)

*points and giggles*

You caught me, there is no use denying it.
I <3 Caesar. And can you blame me? Those centurion uniforms are just sooo dreamy.

Lego is fun no matter how old you are,

Yea, I have just learned there is hope for me as I turn 63 next month. :)

I've learned far more than I'll ever want or need to know about biostatistics and epidemiology - my daughter is a public health major and delights in lecturing me no matter how far or fast I run.

I learned that if you drink jolt(or any other strong energy drink) and look at pornography, Your Penis will explode...:eek:
