What did you learn today?

[PWRL]

I learned that my long-lost Uncle is still alive.

 

[Funky Ghost]

Nothing. I think a thread here on T.B. actually made me dumber.

 

[ZenG]

I learned a lot yesterday but was unable to retain the information.

 

[ChrisB2]

It's not the heat, it's the humidity.

I'm sorry about that. I feel dumber too!

I learnt that I may have seen the most lazy, thoughtless, mindless human being in the world today. After loading her SUV at Costco, she left her shopping cart in the roadway. The shopping cart corral was literally five steps away, immediately behind the tailgate of the car she just finished loading. She could have just pushed it and let go without taking a step to park it there.

Well, I learned that Scotty Moore died. Then I learned it was a hoax. Then I learned that it wasn't a hoax and that it's true. And that sucks.

[PWRL]

I'd never heard of her so I looked her up. Too young, very sad.

Probably the greates basketball coach of all time. Way too young.

 

[hondo4life]

I learnt that I can't get no homework done when there is music to write. How come I can't get paid for this poopie?

Yike. No like.

 

[D M C]

Yes. I've no idea what brought it to mind. This happens to me often, with songs and television commercials predominating.

And songs from television commercials.

Edit: And theme songs from TV shows.
