I learned that there’s a kind of fish called a “sweetlips.”
Just learned today from another SD thread there’s a sect called quiverful 
When my mother-in-law died last year, we found out from the caretaker at the cemetery that all graves are oriented East and West. This is so the sun rises on your face and sets at your feet.
P.S. Definitely not neat
That’s very thoughtful.
I recently learned the difference between fruit and vegetables. Fruit comes from flowers, vegetables come from other parts of the plant. This means that tomatoes and squash are fruit. Don’t put them in a fruit salad, though. Broccoli, being the plant’s flower is a vegetable.
What’s rhubarb, then? Potatoes? Okra?
There are two definitions of fruit: one botanical (your examples above) and culinary. Tomatoes are botanically fruit, but, erm, culinarily, vegetables, at least in most Western cultures. I suppose someone somewhere is eating them with sugar and cream… 
Rhubarb is the stalks so is a vegetable, I’ve always known that.
Potatoes are root crops so also vegetables, again I’ve always known that.
Okra is an abomination that should never be eaten by humans. IMHO.
I just thought that it was a neat thing that I just learned. I don’t plan to eat tomatoes with sugar and cream…maybe…hmmmm. I’ll get back to you on that.
My brother’s on the board on an old rural cemetery for a long-defunct church, but the cemetery gets many new burials each year. He said their policy is the graves are laid out east to west, such that if you stand the coffin/person upright (on their feet) they’d be facing the sunrise. I’m not sure if that’s the same as your case, but close.
I just discovered the MIT App Inventor which is a quick way to introduce Android programming. You do some pretty cool apps with it.
If we are ever visited by a superior alien race, that is the kind of thing we should keep to ourselves; that and how we turned wolves into chihuahuas.
Lest their judgment of us be righteous and swift as in “nuke them from orbit” 
On of my favourite fish.
Their juveniles not only are some of the cutest things you’ll find in a reef, they’ll show you their moves if you come closer.
I put yellow heirloom tomatoes and strawberries together with balsamic reduction. Damn good!
It’s not even a sect, more of a movement or mindset (like for example literalist); some churches are quiverful, but there are also quiverful people within others, and all kind of ranges on how extreme they are.
I learned that if you tie your shoes like THIS they won’t come untied until you want to untie them.
The weird ridge on the top of my cat’s skull is called a sagittal crest.
It’s kind of odd as I’ve never noticed it on another cat - our other three don’t have one, and one of them is his sister.
Now I’m picturing you popping your eye out and sending it to a shop to be fixed.
Thing I just learned today: ear piercing doesn’t hurt.
Thanks to the kind and knowledgable people on this thread, I learned how to drink from a kitten today. I can’t wait to try it.
I’ve just been made aware of a new high in the annals of smartassery. In the early 20th century Prussia annexed part of Denmark and prohibited the display of Danish flags there. So they bred reddish pigs with crossed white stripes instead.
Actually that’s a Christian custom that dates back to the early Middle Ages - 7th, 8th century or so. Head towards Jerusalem. Except for parish priests, typically buried the other way around to watch over their flock when J-Day comes and everybody rises from their graves (at least, that’s the theory archaeologists deem likely to explain why some guys have been found inverted - my teacher opined that another possible, simpler reason is that grave diggers might have just fucked up from time to time, forgot which end of the coffin was which.)
Barring geographical constraints European churches are typically oriented E/W with the altar east too, for the same reason.
That one is good butthis one just as secure and faster to tie.
