Today I learned that, after watching Texhnolyze a second time, it's not a complete mindfuck like I thought it was when I first watched it 2 years ago.

Steve Jobs doesn't even know anything about computers.
He's just an asshole businessman who got out-assholed by Bill Gates.
I learned that men's ties are expensive. It's the first time I've gone out and bought a tie. I'm going to a friend's party, and the dress code demanded a tie. To my surprise, skinny ties aren't that common around the place. Most still stock a heap of the broad-ended types.
So I picked out one that I thought was quite decent, and had to cough up $60. It's probably no big deal when ties are concerned, but it's the first time I've paid so much for something smaller than a jacket.

Of all the things you can drink, canned ice tea (like Lipton Brisk or Arizona) is the worst thing for your teeth. It's not so much the sugar as the variety of additives. It's around twice as bad as any type of cola (Pepsi, Coke, etc), and something on the order of 30 times as bad as coffee or brewed tea.
What was more surprising is the best thing you can drink aside from milk? Root Beer. Coffee and brewed tea are about the same.
(Yeah, I was at the dentist today.)
This is quite shocking. I love Arizona iced tea.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
Your first hint of trouble should have been that this company is from New York, not the state for which it is named.
How's that saying go? "New York City?!?! Get a rope..."
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Carbonated drinks are quite bad because the high acid contents soften the outer layer of your teeth. Thus, the worst thing of all you can ever do is to drink carbonated soft drink and then go brush your teeth right away. It means you will wash off the outer layer of your teeth before it can harden again.
At least if you believe what you learn at the dentist...
This was the message in a toothpaste television advertisement.
My dentist's advice was to just rinse with a drink of water after you drink soda or other carbonated drinks, so that's probably right.
Why do we see divers showering in between their dives? (as in olympic divers etc)
To keep their muscles warm. The temperature difference between the water and the air is enough to cause muscle tightness.
Also, I learned that reheating a pizza+box in a 200 Celcius oven results in a very burnt, and nearly combusting box. Good pizza though.

Today I learned that dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.
Lol, thats one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Today I learned that the word "democracy" is banned in online chat rooms in China.
Today I learned that in Singapore, it is illegal to sell or own chewing gum. (Excuse the double post, was not sure whether to make a new post or edit the old one. Please merge if I have broken the rules.)

Did you learn how punishable an offense it is? Obviously it's not as harsh a punishment as it would be for other prohibited items, like good old cocaine. I wonder how it compares to, say, throwing cigarette butts around.

Today I learned exactly just how easy it is to get access to most people's personal information and then rob them of their identities. Prepare to be disturbed.

Today I learned that I haven't posted here in several weeks. It's kind of crazy, really ... that's the first time I've seen that message since we installed vbulletin.
I guess it says something pretty positive about the current staff that nobody's been pestering me about things one way or the other.
Well I hope this knowledge you've acquired serves you well, complich8

Today I learned that a psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions.
After weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her repeatedly with an axe leaving her mentally retarded.
Ironic.
She should have seen it coming, being in psychology and all. It's also why you need controlled experiments >.>Today I learned that a psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions.

Hahaha, after reading that, and seeing controlled experiments, I think of shackles.
