Today I learned that building a robot is not as easy as it seems. Even if the programming is all correct, the circuit can be tricky and unreliable and die at any time. I also learned that it's way less time and hassle to pay the extra money for a professional microcontroller programmer rather than trying to build one yourself.
I learned the above, as well I learned that making sigs are alot harder then it looks like. They take a long time to make, but After long last i have one I can say i made and doesn't look like crap.
image fail!
Today I learned that I am related to this man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_I_of_Sweden
Yes, a swedish king.
Well to be honest, I've known this for a long time but I never knew exactly WHO I was related to. And this is him. My family is the offspring of one of his many mistresses (on my mother's side). He apparently had lots of affairs and a very small of the total number of illegitimate children is unknown. And my ancestor was conceived when he was roaming about somewhere in Sweden. Originally he was from France (ARGH I HAVE FRENCH BLOOD!) but he later learned swedish well and ascended the throne here (as read on wikipedia). Also, our current swedish king is a descendant to Oscar I, but I'm not related to the current royalty since it's another branch on the family tree. Cool huh?
So I guess the whore qualities lie in my blood [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] My blood, which also happens to be blue!
Kneel before king Terra!

Today I learned that you cannot say "King of Sweden" without laughing your ass off [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Today I learned that being related to royalty really doesn't mean more than perhaps a cortazone shot to the old ego... Terra is a Frenchman! That explains alot!
Today I learned where to buy peanut butter in Italy. Seriously I had looked in just about all of the stores and nobody had any idea what I was talking about. Even the Pakistani and Moroccan ran bodegas didn't have any idea where to get it. Then I went down to this Asia Mach (that's the real, honest to god name of the store) to look for some good spices (Italy does not have alot of good hot spices in the north...) and there it was! Aisle 2! I think its from the Netherlands or Denmark or somewhere like that because the they spell it as Pa(^accent on the a)te d'arachide.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Well it's not so much "ego" as it is "extremely interesting" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
I've always enjoyed research related to family.
Today I learned that when watching End of Evangelion you should really pay attention, or else you'll end up googling in panic, re-watching the series going "Why God WHY?!" and eventually get back to the last 2 minutes of EoE and go OMGWTFHAX and die of shock.
Today I learned that the best way to make pizza is to use a wood burning oven.
I also learned that cheese from buffalo is actually delicious and costs considerably more in Italy than other types of cheeses.
OMFGWTFHAX is a pretty good way of summing up feelings on EoE. But I think you need to make it OMFGWTFHAXW/HOTSAWZ to really capture the true calamity that is your soul upon finishing that movie.Originally posted by: eat_toast

Today I learned that spontaneous human combustion, or SHC, is really cool. If you're too lazy to read the link then i will summarize by saying that SHC is when someone just lights on fire for no apparent reason, and no one quite knows why.
I'd have to say thats probably one of the coolest ways to die. That would be my mode of death if I could choose. Even better, as I'm just about to kill someone, I'd just suddenly ignite and the the other guy would be like "wtf?". Kinda like the end of the Kimimaro vs. Gaara fight but with fire for added awesomeness.
And then when i get to the afterlife or whatever, I'd be the coolest guy there, just because i can say that i died in complete and awesomely random fashion. The "I took a bullet for my loved one" and "I slew 100 orcs before dying" guys would have nothing on me.

Makes me think of a certain G.I. Joe quote:
Today I learned that Togalog is classified as an Austronesian language. I also learned that along with suffixes and prefixes, there also exist infixes and circumfixes. Technically infixes don't occur very much in English (if at all, not quite sure), but one could stretch the term to apply to words like "re-goddamn-diculous" or "inbe-fuckin-lievable".Hey guys. Ah, you know it's funny. People...they go to sleep. They think everything's fine, everything's good. Then they wake up the next day and they're on fire.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Today I learned that I'm not getting as much sleep as I'm suppose too. I'm suggested to get a new bed because it the problum. I was told that i roll to much in my bed and my body isn't getting rest.
Darn it I liked my fold out bed...course it does hurt the back

Today I learned that my computer engineering teacher is a complete noob. Here are some of the stuff he has said:
-Processors haven't improved much the past couple years because clock speed isn't increasing
-200 MHz is not the frontside bus, 800 MHz is
-SLI is stupid because of the way the pixels are drawn on the screen. They should just make a single GPU that's twice as powerful
-SATA hard drives are as fast as SCSI
-Rambus owns (he boasts about his RDRAM everyday)
-The case is more important, in his opinion, than the power supply
-It's good to use a quad-CPU machine for gaming
-The guy used to do professional web designing yet has never heard of RAID 5
For the fellow hardware gurus here, I think those examples are more than enough to show this guy's noobness. I mean...sitting there and listening to a computer teacher say such nonsense is just wrong. For the non-gurus reading, hearing this is equivalent to hearing something along the lines of "Hitler was stupid to kill the Jews himself. He should have just shipped them all to Japan so US nukes them together with the Japanese." Yeah, I hope that paints a clear enough picture.
Today I learned another reason why I love my cellphone, not only do I have the FFVII victory theme on there, but now I have the 24 CTU phone ring thing that goes when they want to talk to each other.

Today I learned that I'm not the only person in my class in danger of failing and not graduating. I'd say a good 50% of us are in the 'Holy crap what if I have to come back to school for ANOTHER year' zone.
Do what I am doing... pull out of your fourth year... you won't get a master's this way but a bachelors instead but hey... who needs the stress of exams???Originally posted by: KitKat

You get a masters after 4 years??? I'm in a 5 year undergraduate program. This is my 5th year and if I pull out now I get nothing. If I fail I have to come back for a 6th year [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Today I learned that in an addition of binary numbers, the sum is the equivalent of an exclusive or operation and the carry out an and... crazy stuff.

Today I learned that the company I work for still can't get my server back up. And that if asked a question, and a stupid one at that, answer it with either a) a knowing laugh or b) complete and utter bullshit. People stop asking you stupid questions after that. Or, in my case, they keep coming back assuming I know everything. Why the fuck would you ask a co-op about your job? These people are idiots.
Also, if I take 19-20 credits a term for the next 5 terms, I will graduate on time (barely) without incuring any additional costs. So Kitkat, pfft. You got it easy.
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
Its a strange kind of masters... an MEng. Its only really known in the UK and countries with education systems that resemble the UK's. An MSc is worth more though.
I think its usually (even here in the U.S.)
2 yrs. - Bachelors Degree
4 yrs. - Masters Degree
1,000,000.54931728 years of hell to get a Ph.D.
And of course if your taking Med its weird and........I dont know.
