What did you learn today?

[the harp unstrung]

I am 57 years old and no that is not what I learn today. What I did learn was something that was never taught in NJ school system. That NJ from 1914-1917 was attacked by terror cells before the war. Supposedly no actual proof but historians believe it to be true
I like many thought that the 911 attack was the only time anyone attacked us at home.

Henry Landau, a captain in the British Secret Service, published a book called "The Enemy Within" in 1937. In it he claims a spy network began its two-year reign of terror with attacks on NJ

So many folk think that 'terrorism' was invented on the day the first airplane was hijacked. Many young people think that 'technology' came into being with the advent of the walkie talkie...No, Wait! I mean those 1980s phones that Looked like walkie talkies!
By definition war is terrorism.
I don't doubt for a second that Germany activated terrorist cells in the USA during The War To End All Wars.
I don't doubt for a second that the british thought that unconventional, 'shooting from behind Rhode Island's stone walls' warfare as practiced by American colonists wasn't 'cricket'...
Hell, the Nazis called Sophie Scholl a terrorist.
One man's terrorist will always be another man's freedom fighter.
(Google Bobby Sands)...

I learned that the chili I made is delicious. I ate three bowls of it. I'm glad I decided to write down how I made it this time.

I learned today, what most of the rest of the world learned today, unfortunately.

I learned... but nothing new.
I hate this... but that's not new.
I am frustrated and numb to it... not new.
It will happen again... soon... nothing new in that.
Nothing will happen to fix it... not new.

What else is new?

I learned that Paris, France has now arrived in Orlando, Florida.
The cat is out of the bag, horses are out of the barn, bulls are in the china shop.
Make what you will out of it but your perception will be much more clear if you follow my line below and do your own research.

I learned that I see Ringo in logos in the same way others see the Virgin Mary in a peice of toast.

I learned rats and Camrys are a bad mix.

Today I was at BSD working on a bass, when someone in a building across the parking lot called and said, "There's a car on fire in your parking lot." John thought it was our favorite prankster, Friendly Wiggin, but he looked out the window and, sure enough, there was a pretty blue Camry with flames coming out of the front grill. As the fire grew, there were numerous small explosions. I decided to move my car, which was parked three spaces away. So the firemen showed up, did a cursory hose lay, then started to put out the fire. One of the firemen started whacking the passenger door window with a halligan, but the window wouldn't break. After the fire was out, they opened up the hood, and there was a dead rat lying on the wheel well. Presumably it had gnawed through some wires causing a short and the subsequent fire. So keep the rats out of your Camry.

That is all.

Today I learned that, even if you've been married TO THE SAME WOMAN FOR FORTY YEARS!!! she can be as clueless as to utterly embarrass you in front of other men. Damn! I was pi$$ed off... and so I remain...and she keeps (3 times) coming back to "but..."...the lack of understanding leaves me speechless...literally.
(Of course, it had to do with money...)

I was just thinking the same thing only this morning! Woot, woot!

 

[ZenG]

I learned that "Woot!" is an expression.

It could possibly be an internet-exclusive expression. Further research may prove beneficial...

I learned that my computer somehow knows what I'm thinking.

I was thinking about dashboard bobbleheads as a funny response to a certain post.

I did not reference bobbleheads on the internet nor did I type in the word or anything like it. I didn't say the word out loud.

I merely thought it.

And lo and behold I'm looking at a banner ad for bobbleheads.

^ That's creepy.

The guy in your avatar can explain that to you.

While you still have a chance.

It can also be a verb to describe a reaction to eating three bowls of chili.

…that there is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which Scotsmen, among others, call the Twilight Zone.
