What did you learn today?

[Kirby]

I learned that the wheels on a Cub Scout Pinewood Derby car are a pain in the ass to get nailed in evenly.

Did you also learn that it's super annoying if you go over the maximum weight? You'll spend the first hour of the derby drilling holes into your car just to make it lighter so it actually qualifies for the race.

I learned that one last year. I have a shop scale now, and we're at 4.953 ounces. The max is 5 ounces.
I don't remember this being such a hassel when I was a scout. Maybe I should ask my dad.

I learned that today's cats re not directly related to the sabertoothed cats of the eocene period. They came from a different line.

Whatever. My cat is a sabertoothed monster!

Found that time is the illusion we die in.

I thought that time was the fire in which we burn.

I learned something else today... a few days ago, I mentioned that I was working on an application that has to interface with Outlook. This is part of our email marketing software (or "email blaster"), which sends out emails to our clients' customers for opt-in programs. The application I'm working on reads through the blaster's Inbox looking for bounced messages, analyzes them to find the reason why the email bounced, moves the email into another folder based on the campaign ID and reason, and reports on the final statistics. (I'm calling it the "blastalyzer". )

Well, today I learned that when an email to a Blackberry bounces, it doesn't give a usable status code - they all come back with status 5.0.0, which seems to be just a general failure code. (I think the message actually says something like "this message could not be delivered for an unknown reason.")

I knew I had a good reason to dislike Blackberries. Now I have an even better one. (Though I have nothing against RIM - they're headquartered in the city where I went to university, and I may very well have applied for a co-op position there at one point.)

fire is the heat that make us melt...

heat is the feeling that we are hot.,

Hot, well; (we all know some hotties for sure)
hot - is what you have when all the tuna is fished out of the plenty of fish thing..

And what about the ellipsoidal bubble people who roam the next reality who know that the reports that are being considered at this point(.) by the nanobot research teams that are reconstructing the enzyme protein sequences in flawless four dimensional real time products have gone a little bit farther then before.

Reminds me of the time I learned that my then 22-month-old son, who had started walking less than two months earlier, could open the doors of the built-in cupboard in the dining room and climb the shelves in order to reach the packets of crisps on the top shelf. Holy heart attack, Batman.

I learned it is impossible for me to sleep through road digging noise violently shaking the flat at 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning. This country is insane!
