    I was going to be a smartass by saying that it should be "learned" instead of "learnt", but I googled it first.

    I learnt that you can use both "learnt" and "learned" as the past tense of the verb to learn.

    OK, something pleasant for once.

    I learned that Kraftwerk might possibly be the most awesome nerdy band in history:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DBc5NpyEoo

    discovered them while on a short break from work. Been hooked ever since. And this song is not even the most awesome they have.

    The one thing about them is that some of their electrical mixes have a weird effect on me. For some reason my brain just kind of goes blank...and I get a weird giddy or dizzy feeling.

    Today I learnt that you can, in fact, sleep faster.

    Do you mean fall asleep faster or have an 8 hour sleep in 6 hours?

    Functioning on 5-6 hours a night for weeks. It's all about light management. Keep it very dark at night, and very bright during the day.

    There was a Soviet band called Zodiac (Зодиак) who played similar music. The band was from some Baltic republic, which explains it sounded more like a European one.
