“Leaveners”. Whoa, semester 2 of culinary school just came rushing back.
I didn’t learn anything today. Sorry.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. That’s my name too.
Wait, no it isn’t.
But my navel fluff IS the same color as my shirts.
voguevixen, they ARE making a game show where contestants are stranded on an island and the winner gets one million dollars. It’s going to be on CBS next year. I think it’s called Survival. And you don’t get to kill the others, but you DO get to vote on who satys and who goes, because it’s a cooperative effort at the start, then it’s supposed to degenerate into Lord of the Flies.
I am not making this up.

OH I wasn’t disbelieving of it, I just didn’t give a rats ass!
“There’s a snake in my boot!”
sorry…rat’s…with an apostrophe.
Yep, that show has been running for two seasons in Sweden & Danmark (that I know of - probably other places, as well). For some reason, it got immensely popular - I must confess to watching quite a lot of episodes during the first season. Morbid curiosity (sp?), I guess. The tabloid press loved it - and the contestants instantly got celebrity status. Prepare for public humiliation and character assassinations of the worst kind.
BTW, the first guy to be voted home on the Swedish show committed suicide. This did not prevent the channel from airing the show - but they did try to edit their footage to avoid showing him.
I guess bad taste in television shows move both ways across the Atlantic…
I learned today that Moosie can translate but not interpret, she can write but not speak, or in her words… “I’m not fast enough” hmmm Moosie… I had a totally different impression of you 
I opened the door, and look who I found. Damn I’m good
Spiny, bad taste is universal.
Things I learned from Beakman’s World:
-
Ketchup is from China. And so is catsup. The reason there are two names is because each one comes from a different Chinese dialect.
-
Cleopatra invented cold cream. (Or it was invented for her.)
-
Naked Mole Rats feed their waste products to their young. “But I don’t wanna eat shit today!” “You’ll eat shit and LIKE it!”
-
A guy in a rat suit is NOT funny.

I learned I was wrong about copyright laws. http://britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/1/0,5716,26641+1,00.html
Scroll down nearly to the bottom and you’ll learn how Congress changed copyright in the USA in 1978.

I learned something about copyrights(below), but of course the article itself was copyrighted. So I’m not sure we can rightfully post it…anyway:
…I guess I lost it. What it said was that you don’t need a paper certifying your copyright. Mere printing, distributing or posting on the net gives an original work a copyright. Put your name and © at the end.
navel fluff? i have absolutely zero. i’ve never experienced the phenomenon, BUT whenever i’m around leaves, little pieces always find their way in.
and as for what this thread is about: learning something new everyday, i realized the truth of that a little while back when i slid myself into the hole in the wall where the microwave usually is.
i was like, hey! i’m smaller than the microwave! and that same night i started a ‘right now’ section on my homepage where there’s a little line where i put a little something or other that i learnt. sure, it may not always be a huge discovery, but learning is learning.

I don’t have an evil side. Just a really, really apathetic one.
and you don’t even know about my glowing room and ocd with being fair to inanimate objects.
oh, if only…

I learned today that the airport can actually be a great place to hang out
I’ve learned that Java still does not work on my browser, but it works on my wife’s computer with all the same software and setup, as far as I can tell. If I can just find the one thing that’s different…
I just found out that Sue’s become a Moonie!
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.
Only if there are leavening agents in the recipe to begin with. Not all cookies are supposed to rise, yanno.
I learned that webring.org sucks and doesn’t give a crap about anyone or anything or fixing their bugs or system problems since Yahoo bought them.

I learned that my ginger root that I am trying to grow is forming roots and starting to form top growth. In about six months or so I’ll have free ginger. Yay!.
I also learned that banana plants grow like gangbusters, even indoors.
*Doobieous: I learned that my ginger root that I am trying to grow is forming roots and starting to form top growth. In about six months or so I’ll have free ginger. Yay!. *
Be careful that it doesn’t grow too much, or you’ll have gingervitis.
