What have you learnt today?

[Gilrandir]

Gawd I hate math, it just doesn't make sense to me. My brother is really good at it, reading a formula is for him what's reading a sentence is for me, and he is better at that as well. I am much more handsome though.

I heard this story from an American student back in 1992.
His brother was studying at some University (don't remember which) and since it had a good team in some sport (I think it was American football, but can't wager on that) it was always a problem to park the car on the University stadium parking lot on a game day. So this guy enlisted the help of a resourceful fraternity member. They drove to the entrance and the fraternity brother produced an official-looking invoice and said: "I've got a trunkload of logarithms for the Forestry college". The guard waved them in.
Math CAN be useful, after all.

I get the point. But there is such a thing that is having different realities. Mine could be entirely different than your's.

Hah, yeah, nothing like an official pretext for not-too-engaged gatekeepers.

Discovered that a combination of poor hygiene and jalapeno peppers can make a man spend a number of days with a fever and fervently praying to the porcelain goddess.

Indeed, today I learned that in my reality, Obama isn't president, from 2008-2012 it was Hillary Clinton and since 2012 it's Glenn Beck. It certainly explains why I never understood the topics about US elections here.

I could say something really smart about that but I won't.

ok I can't. But still

I just learnt that contemporary dance hurts if you're as untrained as I am.

I learned today that the VP of my company is not an intimidating person.
