What did you learn today?

I just learnt that Noodle, after clearing Kong Studios of a host of zombies, was supposed to parachute off her ill-fated windmill flying island, during the making of the El Mañana filum. Something went terribly wrong. But Murdoc, with a few diabolical cards up his sleeve, had a cunning plan. "There's no way I'm killing Noodle. She's Noodle!" he was heard to whisper, to a rabble of shady insiders on set.

Meanwhile, Russell the drummer, having embarked, out of the blue, on a marathon ocean swim to find Plastic Beach, had consumed so much garbage and toxic waste on the way, he'd become a giant. Noodle and the now immense Russell arrive at Plastic Beach at the same time. Noodle, having just successfully administered a lethal remedy, curing Flatulence, proceeds to shut down cyborg Noodle permanently after it, all of a sudden, tries to kill Murdoc. Lucky!

There's more to it, I suspect.

I learned that you can't flick a chip off of anyone's shoulder with reason and logic. They have to decide when it's too big to carry around that way. I actually knew this a long time ago, but it bears repeating.
You talking about dandruff?:laugh:

But yeah, some people's wiring has turned to amber (fossilized resin). :( No way to lay new track there.:rollno:
 
Is there a good way to fight coronavirus conspiracies?

Cover up each cough or sneeze. Otherwise, you'll spread disease. In other words, stop all the running off at the mouth.
  • Misinformation about the novel coronavirus is spreading on social media
  • Studies suggest challenging conspiracy theories with facts may not work, and can backfire
  • Experts argue we need a comprehensive public health campaign …
 
Can coronavirus hide in the brain? What if you don't have a brain, are you safer? These queries, and others, stem from a new podcast called Coronacast.
* What are the risks to pregnant women? What will happen if an expectant mother is infected?

* Can you get coronavirus from mail from overseas? What about other surfaces?

* Have there been any confirmed cases of children or infants contracting the disease?

And Dr Norman Swan also explains some interesting research regarding what the new coronavirus might be doing in people's brains.

… Coronacast is a podcast that helps to answer your questions about coronavirus or COVID19. We break down the latest news and research to help you understand how the world is living through an epidemic. …

Do face masks work? And stop touching your face (but good luck).
  • Does a face mask really protect you?
  • How often do we touch our faces? (spoiler: it's a lot)
  • Can you get coronavirus if an infected person touches fruit and vegetables at the supermarket?
  • How will hospitals manage if there's huge numbers of people needing care?
  • And why isolation means isolation. No family members allowed.
All that, and a frightening new study which could show how easy it is for a sick person to get coronavirus over everything.
