What did you LEARN today?

post a random fact you learned...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I learned that though Jaci Velasquez has great lyrics, she's not always modest and that she made a mistake by co-starring in Chasing Papi. :(

That people look at you strangely if you are reading a book on the five points of Calvinism in the middle of a restaurant. \:D/

That reminds me of something, and I didn't learn this today, but I did learn a while back that you will also get weird looks if you shout in a resturant "WHY CAN'T I DIE?!?"

Ah, what a fun day that was...

Last night I learned that going to the drive-in when it's cold is not good diea. And that people also look at you strangely when there are five girls and five guys sitting in and around a car making lots of noise talking and not particularly watching the movie. \:D/

lol, actually, me and some friends were talking about a hypothetical situation; what would happen if someone found something like the fountain of youth and became immortal, and how it might get annoying after a while. The person who yelled it (not me) did it very loud and dramatic and on impulse; the resulting chaos was, I thought, pretty funny.

I also learned today that wearing sandals outside for the first time in five months is also a glorious thing \:D/

If she was, it's not saying much.

And bathing suits aside, that was still a bad choice on her part.
