I learnt a funny little rhyme: "Cross my heart and hope to die, Danny's gay and I don't lie." Someone wrote it on some paper in PSHCE today and the teacher read it, LOL. :lol:

I learned that if you buy a wheel for a wheelbarrel
nowadays and try to put that on a wheelbarrel made
in the 1970`s, it does not fit snuggly at all

Today I learned that there are more than 50 separate breeds of beef cattle.
I had no idea.
I thought there were maybe 4 or 5.
Amazing....

I, on the other hand, can. Thanks for that suggestion... my left shoulder, and neck, are now killing me.

Several things thanks to WP today. Someone else on here incidentally mentioned Ingmar Bergman and Bill and Ted. This led me to learning that De Nomolos is a Sdrawkcab Name (possibly the best one ever, though!) I've yet been unable to determine conclusively whether Grim (as in Grim Reaper) and Grim (as in hooded) are the same word, but the incidental realisation that Wormtongue's name is a joke was splendid. And I learned that "Ai" is Japanese for "love".

I've also learned some things from Wiki about the Guru Granth Sahib, the trial of Fatty Arbuckle, the "More Cowbell" meme, Geert Wilders... and other stuff. I haven't learned anything new from work, it's all been fairly routine today.
