I just now learned that the bottle of olive oil I keep on my stovetop is exactly the right width to, when inverted, get stuck between the stove and the fridge. (Do not ask how that happened; I could not have done it intentionally in a million attempts.)
Although the crack between the stove and the fridge did need a minor cleaning, I did not feel like doing it today. But I did.

Dog domestication happened just once, ancient DNA study suggests, or so they say today. Some people say, the dog domesticated us. There just may be something in that 
If your wife says, "Dump the trash in the kitchen," ... don't. Take it outside.
Today I learned nothing. In fact, I forgot what I learned yesterday.

I'm in a mood.

I learned that IMAX movie theaters apparently have a fader setting that exceeds 11. More like a 12.

If I never have another one of these suckers, it will be something to be grateful for.
I learned that they don't make single-locking Floyd Rose bridges for no reason.
If you pull up on the vibrato arm (not even with a great deal of force) the wire on the strings unravels from around the ball ends & it goes out to tune.
If you keep re-tuning it, eventually the ball end will just shoot out the back end of the bridge & the string is history!
I also learned that the guys at GC have no idea about how to install a vibrato arm & will blow smoke to a seller about how it would cost them $60 to install a vibrato arm.
and they will do whatever they can to screw up your order for a trade-in, but probably not on purpose.
Today I was in there about 90 minutes longer than I needed to be for a trade, because they kept fouling up my order or taking other customers ahead of me.

Why was Don Bradman so good? This 80yo might have the answer and I may have learnt something (secondhand this time

I learned that if you make Earl Grey and candied orange peel rusk......
Your family will eat them all and leave you none....

I learned that after 9 years of essentially goofing around on bass I've actually managed to get most of the chops back from my youth. And added a few. Howzat happen? Maybe time to hit a stage again? I guess I've learned that I may well perform again. And not make a mess of it
