No matter how long you put them on hold, some people will keep on waiting until you give them what they want.

I found out a Fig isn't really a fruit, it's an inside out flower.
Botanists prefer to call them "syconium" or "fleshy receptacle", as they contain the flowers of the plant which must be pollinated by tiny, specialized wasps. A true fruit should derive from the ovary of a pollinated flower, rather than containing the flower itself.
So, anyone that has eaten Figs has probably eaten wasps.

i learned that everything i learned, i did not previously know.
what a coincidence! i never previously knew anything about what i learned today and it seems rigged somehow.
surely i should have some prior knowledge about whatever i learn, but it seems i do not.
it is very suspicious to me that whatever i learn is precisely targeted to fields where i have no knowledge.

i will not believe what i learn unless i have prior knowledge about it from now on! i am not going to be swindled by circumstances that prey upon my obliviousness.

ha, will keep that in mind.

somehow i rented the same movie off netflix and from the blockbuster store and didn't get to watch it. i figured since we rented it from blockbuster that we should just send it back to netflix. someone brought back the movie to blockbuster :?: :?: :?: while we still have three other movies that should be brought back as they're probably late. yep someone doesn't want me to watch this movie

I learned that I'm a lot sicker than I think I am, or try to make out.
