I learned that it's possible to receive burns from irrigation devices when they're running. I got this burn on the tip of my left ring finger, but it's healed for the most part. However, when I touch it with my other fingers, it feels all weird like when glue dries on your fingers and...ech.
Another thing I learned: NEO EXDEATH IS A CHEAP B@STARD!! ALMAGHEST IS HIS GAYEST ATTACK!!

The character model for Dr. Eli Vance in HL2 was an unemployed guy called Larry "The Count" Heard, who was holding up a sign saying that he was looking for work on the corner of Highway 520 and 148th Avenue in Redmond, Washington. The Valve guys saw him and hired him. It's true, I got it from Wiki.

I can start my work bike by rolling it forwards then jumping on, shifting into 1st gear and revving it like mad. This works best after I've fallen off it and it has flooded and won't kickstart. And it has its own Wikipedia article too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT110

Someone has been taping over South Park episodes (please DramaturgeJason don't hurt em) for a Beck movie (not the singer, its a swedish detective series). I was at my job and was dismantling a tv, and was suprised to find a VHS tape in it.

Today, I learned that Minutes to Midnight: Linkin Park is the greatest CD ever released. I got the special edition, which comes with the CD and a second disc that shows the making of it AND the "What I've Done" music video! ;D

George Orwell's name wasn't George Orwell, it was Eric Arthur Blair. Orwell was his pen name.

I learned that my skills as an artist pale in comparison to those of XJKenny's and 14-bis' on DeviantART, and the chances of improvement to a degree equal to their's is highly unlikely.

I learned several things last night. One was just how drunk I could get. Another was that Monty Python gets even funnier while your drunk. And another was that while I am intoxicated I speak proper english, like I say 'Inebriated' instead of 'drunk'. And I dance, really, really, reaaaallllly, bad. I could have spent the night playing WoW...

I learned that vectoring Goo's hair is EVIL. Since I don't have any of the flash resources, specifically her braids, it's bad! What makes it worse is that each braid is the same flash resource, SO SINCE I DON'T HAVE THOSE RESOURCES, I HAVE TO VECTOR EACH BRAID INDIVIDUALLY!!! YOU THINK THAT'S FUN??? YOU THINK I ENJOY DOING THE SAME BRAID 3 TIMES OVER?

I lerned that Wikipeda wasn't lying when they say that finding One Piece toys here in the USA is indeed a rare thing. So far, I've only saw a Luffy figure with stretchey arms at Dollar General today. The only other places you'll find anything else One Piece-orented is the bookstore to get the manga, but merchinidse-wise, its hard as Hell. You'll either have to get them off anime inport sites or find a little street corner shop that sells figurines or keychains. And, theres only one company to blame for all of this. 4Kids. BARELY any promos at ALL, and a sorry exuse for a dub.
However, to make up for this, FUNi will be hopefully be asking Bandi to reliese some toylines here in the US agian, because of there being "New" (They're up to THREE-HUNDERDED, NINETEEN episodes of One Piece in Japan, and almost FIVE HUNDERED chapters in the manga.) episode relesed here in the states. Plus, I'm hoping that they'll be more promotion for it here after we rake in the new episodes.

I learned about an elite millitary unit in the Australian Army called NORFORCE (North-West Mobile Force). NORFORCE is tasked with protecting Australia from incursions along our northern coastline by criminals, people smugglers and foreign fishermen. It's made up almost entirely of Aboriginal soldiers recruited from the region, since due to the nature of the job they would know the area better than anyone. The unit's history goes all the way back to 1942, when their job was to watch for and report any signs of a Japanese invasion.
