What Did You Learn Today?

[bunnydude]

"Je vais me coucher moins niaiseuse ce soir."

I just learned a cool new French expression:biggrin2:. I just finished my fifth year of French and plan to continue in college, so its pretty neat to learn something like that.

I learned my dirty laundry is breeding and multiplying while my back is turned.

I learned Harry the cat is crazy enough to sit outside on the deck for 2 minutes in the middle of a blizzard (my husband let him go out...).

Today I learned that the airport security rules are crazy packing to get ready for my spring break trip and trying to bring stuff to do on the plane.

And I also learned that Zoey actually moniters her own treat intake, unlike piggy mcpig face Wash.

Today I learned that it is possible, although VERY unlikely, for a patient who was dead moments before to leap up and attack you immediately after administering AED shocks to their heart. This happened to my EMT instructor a couple of years ago and the patient had no heart beat and wasn't breathing, the AED will only shock someone whose heart is in ventricular fibrillation. Talk about a surprise! Usually if the shocks work, it takes at least 30 seconds for the heart to start beating and the patient usually remains unconscious.

Today I learned that Hollywood lies.

STOP LAUGHING.

Tonight I watched "The Great Debaters" which I enjoyed. I came home and searched the internet for more information on a couple of the debaters (they gave "they went on to...." type information at the end of the movie) - only to find out - that two of them were based upon more than one character....so they sorta...ok .... the very much....LIED about what happened to those folks.

Makes me wonder now about all those other movies I've seen where they say, "XYZ went on to.....".

:X

WHAT?!? You Dorothy may have never made it back to Kansas?

I won't laugh but you did give me a smile

That is right....if Dorothy was based on more than one character....she could be in Nebraska - or heaven forbid....the Dakotas!

Makes me really worry about the Walton boys (who were based on more than one character if I remember right)

I'm assuming we know the truth about John-Boy though....:biggrin2:...that he really DID become an author!

Today I learned that there are a heck of a lot of Montreal Canadiens fans who attend LA Kings games, and that said Canadiens have their own song.
And that Canadians can be spelled Canadiens.

:laugh:

Hopefully you'll never learn it first hand.... Moments like this are very few and far between and not something you 'expect'.

I learned that I am still as addicted to buying on eBay as I ever was.



:shock:

 

[tundrakatiebean]

Today I learned that plane rides suck and airport security will never catch everything that you put in your huge backpack as a carryon:shhhh:

I had some lense cleaning fluid for my camera in there and forgot to take it out and no one complained *shrug*

 

[Little Bay Poo]

Today I learned that I can go five years without wearing earrings, and NOT have the holes close up on me. AMAZING! Well, I'll probably take these things out and stop wearing them again lol

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Today I learned that I really hate the "spring forward" part of daylight saving time. :X

I had an interesting time watching my cell phone go from 1:59am to 3:00am though lol.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

okiron - you need to get out more.

 

[okiron]

Lol my idea of getting out more is going to the mailbox to get the mail more than twice a week. I like my cave

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I like mine also - but watching the phone time isn't exactly what I'd call entertaining LOL!

 

[okiron]

I have just learned that Dahmer could stink up an entire 1 bedroom apartment with his poop. Oh me gee I can't breath!!! Help >.<

 

[jcottonl02]

Today I learnt that I only need about 5 hours sleep....and when I tell myself I will go to bed earlier- to turn over a new leaf and be good in that sense- when I go to bed at perhaps half ten or eleven, in the morning my head is so heavy and I cannot get up.

So I am never going to bed early again!!!! When I go to bed at about 1am, I can get up at 7.30, but when I got to bed at 10.30pm I just cannot get up at 7.30!!!!!

I learned that Tony is able to jump into the bathtub on his own but not get out of it.

I also learned that crabs are very hard to keep alive in a tank.
