Yeah, I think I'll join you in that sentiment.

I've learned that I'm tired of hearing three female friends of mine bitching about their boyfriends. I know no relationship is perfect, but this is constant bitching. Either do something to make yourself happy, or shut up!

Never read the drug info. Went to the doctor today to get a refill, waited in the office for 3 hours, receptionist told me to go to the ER to get one but I refused, when I finally got into the doctor she was like "they wouldn't have given you any, they would have thought you were drug seeking".....I was confused until I came home to look it up.

It's a really helpful drug, apparently it's also like addictive and dangerous and sells for mega $$. I wouldn't sell it though, I neeeed it. (medically)

I took ritalin for ADHD from age 7 - 20. I was offered money for it starting at age 12. I used to sell it to them too, and I thought I was screwing them over for money at the time, because I didn't get why people want a pill that calms them down (at least that is what it does to me). I later learned by High School that it acts like speed for those who take it for reasons other than its intended use.

Stupid me I guess.

I've never had enough to even consider selling it... I'm in enough pain without it that it's not worth the money.

I wouldn't sell pain meds myself for that reason.

I had kids begging me for it, from needing it to study for a test to just wanting to ground it up and sprinkle it in their weed. All kinds of strange shit, most of the times I did not sell it to them, but I was broke and needed cash from time to time.

today I learned now matter how much food you prep for a 5 course meal for 150 people, it still isn't enough...

Today I learned that chili can go well with many different things.

The world learned that Anpu does not pay for sex. He lets those he deems worthy beg him for sex. They have to beg on their knees and there have to be tears. Real tears, not crocodile tears.

I learned that Scientologists are walking stds. In fact, everytime you see a Scientologist, you risk catching herpes. Just from looking at one. You shouldn't look at them directly without proper safety goggles. Otherwise, your eyes will catch herpes. Anpu says so.

Today I learned I gotta get my sleep pattern back on track. :p

Today I learned I am now single :(

Today I learned that eggs and chili are tasty together on a sandwich, although it doesn't sound that way.

That is probably the best thing so far to come out of this horrible hangover.

It was a fun employee party though.

I learned today that I feel helpless to aid someone special to me who is down. :(

I have also learned it is not a good idea to do a 90 minute intense weight-oriented work out class, then go for a 4 mile beach walk, and then continue on with a night of blatantly excessive drinking.

I'm in the process of figuring out if the Orient was all a spectacle constructed for a western audience.

I learned, again, that this is not dead. I also learned that a friend of my dad's who was turned down for the regular British Army was offered a place in the American Marines.

I learnt today that 28 Weeks Later is an awesome movie. So is 28 Days Later.

i learned that meetings in the morning can be fast and effective. meetings in the afternoon in winter, when its dark, and the heating's warm, and we all want to go home... they just don't work *sleeeeeeeeps*

What did I learn? Well... I always knew I was half-Greek but now I know exactly what kind of Greek... we're Spartan.

Today I also learned that my wife felt the baby move for the first time. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5W58LoiSEQ

Today I learned that it is in-fact possible to suck at jumping jacks. This video is just sad.

Also, Anpu knows of darkness no mortal mind could comprehend, a darkness darker than black holes in the deep cold darkness of space and time. He knows of a darkness that could vanquich any light and a light that could vanquish any darkness. He's thinking of putting them together after he's done shooting unstoppable forces at unmoveable objects. Fyi, the forces just move straight through the object without losing any momentum or moving the object.

That sleeping in a reclining chair is not a good idea when the reclining chair sometimes declines itself. :p

I learned, once again, that I hate being sick. I particularly hate gastro-intestinal viruses. Especially, when the virus in question involves 24 hours straight of going at both ends.

Today I have learned that in 4 days I will know whether its a boy or a girl.

That my new job is interesting.

Today I also learned that my wife felt the baby move for the first time. :D
Wifey was loving it too, until one of their feet found her cervix. That one's gonna be a good dancer.

Today(or yesterday) I learnt that that I have a stomach disease. Best to prepare for two days of boredom.

Wifey was loving it too, until one of their feet found her cervix. That one's gonna be a good dancer.

It's only been a kick here and there so far. :D

Today I learned baseboard heaters really suck.

Today I have learned that not many people learn anything on NSG. :tongue:

I learned that eating a whole chicken with extra hot sauce in Nandos is STILL not a good idea.

I've learnt that any time the phrases 'postmodernist' or 'poststructuralist' are mentioned in a textbook, insanity and meaningless waffling inevitably soon ensuses, and its a good idea to move onto something else.

I learned that I apperantly can get a much better, richer, more fulfilling education on NSG then I can at my university.

Its true, an NSG poster told me.

I learned that train delays suck hard and public transport needs some revitalisation.

Public transport delays are to be savoured and not mocked.

>.>
<.<

Erm ... did you sleep through any of it?

No.

I learned that gastrointestinal viruses are an effective, if unpleasant, means of losing weight.

I learned that crayfish actually tastes okay.

Here are some things I learned today:
Scientologists don't believe in brakes, Anpu, mustard, North America, Jesus (just about everyone else who isn't Christian believes that he's just some guy who's fanclub greatly exagerated his accomplishments. It's like how saying Abraham Lincoln had heat vision doesn't mean he didn't exist), gravity, etc. They seriously believe that none of those things exist. They especially believe that car brakes don't exist, which is why they shouldn't be allowed on the road.

A surprising number of people believe Isreal was the one who broke the ceasefire. I guess rockets with shitty accurasy aimed at civillians are exempt.

Dogs may be idiots, but people are way dumber. Every day, ordinary people make great strides in the fields of failure and stupidity. Where would failure and stupidity be without those pioneers?

I learned that once again, Wal-Mart employees require no intelligence to be employed there.

that the extension tubing on a medical breathing apparatus is called a canyon! that the piece that goes on your nose is called a nose, and its held on by going over your ears.

I learned how to create a new region. I also learned that Joe the Plumber may run for Senate.:(

I learned that there are still good jobs on offer during the recession.

I learned that there are still people out there who think the world gives a damn about them. Well, it does, but only if they screw up in a way that affects others. You could screw up your life and nobody cares. But once you pay a bill late, the world notices and you're suddenly the worst person who ever lived, you asshole.

And there are people who don't know who Anpu is. How can they not know? He's been known to play in a heavy metal band alongside Abraham Lincoln. How can anyone not know this?

I learned that they are remaking Friday the 13th....

I learned that asking someone who's obviously not OK "Are you alright?" is a very bad idea, again.

(I keep forgetting this lesson. I must endeavor to write it down.)

i learned that asking someone who's obviously not ok "are you alright?" is a very bad idea, again.

(i keep forgetting this lesson. I must endeavor to write it down.)

"Nothing is wrong!!! Nothing!!! Understand!! I'm fine!!!"

that kind of response?

I learned that the version 1 gearbox from Tokyo Marui hates me.

I learned that naming a boy is harder than it looks.

I learned that I somehow have an intuition on how to draw circuit schematics.

More learning to come, but at least I can draw the simplest fairly brainlessly.

Oh, right.

I also learned the way to not be hungry is to not not eat.

I learned that Robo's Theme from Chrono Trigger sounds eerily close to "Never Gonna Give You Up" By Rick Astley.

"Nothing is wrong!!! Nothing!!! Understand!! I'm fine!!!"

that kind of response?More like a long sob story, and then the long, loud, and frequent denial.

I've given up on not learning. It's just to damn hard. Today I learned I have a dentists appointment at 8:30 tomorrow because my dad likes to be a dick. :tongue: He'll soon learn there isn't enough room at my villa on Hamilton Island for him. Shucks.

Apparently, fialblog.org knows of a store where you can buy fresh sperm. Nine out of ten ladies still prefer Anpu's sperm.

I also learned that I need to get around to asking that tenth lady.

I also learned that some people believe I have an unhealthy fixation on foxes, Led Zeppelin, and Anpu. Those people are idiots.

I learned thin lizzy makes good music...and small plasma lamps are cool...and i should play less GH2-3-4....

...to be continued

I'm sure one or another of us is willing to lick that infection right out of you.

I found out that my very calm zen husband harbors violent thoughts about someone. Which is kinda cute but also shocking.

Well, as a very calm, Zen husband I can tell you that it's pretty hard to do that without having violent thoughts about someone once in a while. You kinda need something to be Zen about. Otherwise you're just a slacker.

As for what I learned...

My wife will never be happy with my driving. Don't bother driving safer to keep your wife/gf calm. It's never going to happen. Just drive as fast as you can so that her freaking out will be over sooner.

I learned that moving to another place, even if it is only 10 minutes away, can still be a huge hassle.

I learn that in a recession, it's much easier to make your own job, then to get hired.

Heheheh! If I could teach that, I would.:tongue:

Today I learned that people from Folkstone are teh ebil...

I learned this like yesterday but I had no computer to tell you all about it it so here it is today. I'm moving. Not because of a job or anything practical. No, instead I've decided to forgo being a standard professional bum and specialize instead. Saige Dragon will become a snowbum this winter, spending his days hunting fresh tracks and snowbunnies while his nights will involve copious amounts of alcohol and more snowbunnies.... Cheers.

What? Where? Show me!Move on over to my region.
Best. Incentive. Evar.

You should move on over too. :)

That I rock, but life sucks.

I guess life will just have to get over itself and bow down like everybody else. ;)

Today I learned the Internet keeps me from doing any real work.

Jeez - you just learned that today?

I learned that support often comes from the most unexpected quarters.

I learned that without enough sleep, I have developed a way to easily confuse many people. All it involves is discussing the possibility of our nonexistance and asking about the cheese. Oh the cheese. The cheese makes the confusion worse.

I'm going to try to confuse people with foxes now. And Anpu. Because you can't warp peoples' minds without Anpu. Doing so makes him upset for being left out of the fun.

You should hang out with one of my little dudes. That would prove interesting.

Do you wear the cheese, or does the cheese wear you?

Do you wear the cheese, or does the cheese wear you?I think this just came up on the antiperspirant thread.

Ooh!
Sorta on topic - i watched an octopus run for the first time. Pretty cool.

Octopi can run? My entire frame of reference just collapsed.

Animal Planet has it. It's short footage, but legit.
I was already enamored with the cuttlefish, for obviously good reason, and whenever someone's got some video, there goes the rest of my hour. :)

Do you wear the cheese, or does the cheese wear you?

The question concerns not the usage, but of the very existance. What is the cheese? That's the question. Where it is or how it is used is of no concern to anyone when you strip away the fluff until you get to the bare truth. It is this existance of cheese that we need, for without the cheese, there will be no cheese. No matter who we are, where we are, or what we are doing, we all learned about the cheese today. That's all that matters.

Hmmm, I wonder if this should be in a thread of its own.

Awesome! I've (also) been a big cuttlefish fan for years... I've never seen running octopi before, though!

I learned how to use a teapot today.

I learned that Persephone (the mean cat) likes cream cheese and will steal my bagel if I leave it even for a nanosecond. I found the damp bagel, with all the cream cheese licked off, in front of the fireplace.

On a more serious note, I learned that a thread about PETA will get more response than a thread about balloon animal sex.

Which in turn, taught me what sad shape humanity is in.

I, personally, don't see any particular conflict, per se.

I learned that PETA and Auschwitz are the current hot-button topics.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a correlation?

Today I learned that moving sucks, but it can't keep me away from here.
