Today I learned, after my friend called to tell me that his dog had attacked a little deer and I needed to bring my .22 to put it out of its misery, that a bystander was going to have me arrested if I discharged my gun. As of this posting, it's been 4 hours the deer has been twisted, bleeding and breathing heavy in a ball as they wait for animal control.
Nice guy.

(Like your friend?) I'm not a gun guy, but you're the guy I would have called if I'd been in his shoes.
The bystander...there are MOE-rons living on every street! :banghead:

Today I learnt that it can be cold enough to frost my windshield in the Midwest US in late May, that I'm mad at global warming for deserting me, and that the polar bears are going to be just fine.

Today I learned that people on the Internet can make sweeping conclusions based on one tiny little datapoint.

Nah, I already knew that.;)

I learned that a new tavern has opened up on the other side of our little town! :woot:
It's right out the font door of my dentist's office, where I spent some quality time this afternoon... :whistle:
I thought I might stop by after my appointment, see what flavors of beer they could provide, peruse the decor...but by the time she started drilling, my lower lip was So @&$?ing numb that all I could envision was beer dribbling down the front of my shirt and someone calling 911 cuz they thought I was having a stroke...


...there's always tomorrow...:thumbsup:

Today, I'm learning that White Rock Sea Snails, which have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, are now likely to become an intrinsic element of a miracle cancer treatment. The natural world is a wonderland. Eggs from these humble little critters possess some very desirable cancer-clouting capabilities.

Cancers likely now to be hammered, with a little luck, include chemotherapy-resistant lymphomas and uterine sarcomas, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers.
[Researchers] found the chemicals - called N-alkylisatins - killed 100 per cent of drug resistant cancer cells in the lab in just 48 hours."When we compared that to a clinically used anti-cancer drug Doxorubicin, we found that that drug could only effectively kill 10 per cent of those cells,"

To say that I 'like' this post puts me firmly in the lead in the 'Understatement Of The Day Derby'!
This one speaks to me on a very personal level... ;)

I learned that for some reason I suddenly remember arbitrary things that I haven't thought about for decades.

Been noticing it more and more.

I'll think of a person, for example, and then realize that I haven't thought about that person for 25 years. And have no idea why I suddenly remembered them.
