What did you learn today?

[Johnny Crab]

Small nails make the right front Michelin in our conversion van(wifey's ride & my gig-mobile) lose about 5 pounds per square inch of pressure per day. Blowouts in front tires on a van at any speed over 20 miles per hour is no fun(been there done that).....speed limit is 75 on the highway out here so wifey's getting Discount Tire to free fix it under road hazard converage.

NOTE: if you ever have a front tire blowout in a rear wheel drive van, DO NOT touch the brake pedal.
Let off the gas, keep the vehicle straight, and try not to get to shook up as the tire comes apart and modifies some of the fender well body panel in the process. If you do touch the brake pedal, you will feel the back of the van trying to "come around" as-in turn the vehicle sideways and start rolling. If you are lucky enough to have driven NASCAR vehicles(and others) at high rates of speed and can feel in your seat what is happening, you may get lucky and be able to get your foot off of the brake pedal real fast before the vehicle starts rolling and cartwheeling. I was lucky and had experience a few years back doing 60 mph, saved our ride and learned that. If you've ever driven cars sideways for fun(yep) and driven NASCAR vehicles at Walt Disney World Speedway at 120+ mph(feeling the rear end of the car twitch slightly at the edge of letting go of traction) then you understand "feel in your seat".

I learned that forgetting you have a double-edged carpet blade in the razor knife instead of a standard blade is unfortunate. Fortunately, I had previously learned quite a few years ago now that super glue keeps cuts closed up pretty well.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

That I should be ashamed of myself.

 

[shadowtippy]

That I should be ashamed of myself.

I don't have to be ashamed of myself, my whole family is ashamed of me.

 

[the harp unstrung]

I learned that good friends of ours are even better friends than I'd known!

Ive learned that the more I think about it, the more I like the expression "douche waffle."

Ive learned that the more I think about it, the more I like the expression "douche waffle."

I've always been partial to douche-canoe and douche-nozzle.

 

[the harp unstrung]

I've always kind of known the story of John Lennnon's 'The Beatles are bigger than Jesus' comment...I know a lot more about it now.

 

[Michael B]

That even respected TB veterans can get trolled in misread topics.

 

[blastoff99]

I learned that not everyone who is nice to me is my friend.

I also learned I have way fewer friends than I thought.

 

[PWRL]

I learned that despite trying a lot, I really am not a roundwounds kind of guy. They're okay, but overall, it's not my favorite sound.

 

[EVerderame]

i learned that today is new year's day sowhere in the globe

I learned me too.

 

[Tom Bomb]

Japan's again in the grip of multiple earthquakes, with more likely to come within the next week. More lives lost.

 

[crucislancer]

I had an introductory archery lesson with my kids today.

 

[Michael B]

A case made for your instrument is a way better fit. Knowing you are protecting your #1 is a good feeling.

(I have never splurged on a nice case before).

 

[fretter]

I learned that Donna Summer was an amazing singer, even late in her career.

 

[Gazman]

Danika McKellar (Winnie Cooper from "The Wonder Years") is:

A) Still stunning
B) A Mathematician and educator.

and since Hotness is equal to (Looks x Brains) it follows that Danika is Hot².

 

[DirtDog]

That snow and ice trumps lumber and nails.

 

[FilterFunk]

...Hotness is equal to (Looks x Brains) it follows that Danika is Hot².

Is this a recognized scientific equation?

If not, it should be!
