    I have a way of doing this a lot, lol.
    What random facts have we learned recently?

    Today I learned that a "barn" is the unit of measure represented by the area of a cross-section of a uranium nucleus, or 10^-28 square meters. Smaller derived units are the "shed" and the "outhouse."

    Those particle physicists have the most creative ways of naming things. XD

    I learned that breaking your hand is hard work.
    Seriously; It doesn't hurt at all, even though It's borked. My finger and thumb are okay!

    Uh... I learned that through experience.

    I also learned that back in the 20's, animation was done by hand, with drawn images of Mickey Mouse flapping together before a camera.
    Amazing how much detail people put into that.

    Well it certainly is creative, but I have no idea at all what any of that stuff meant.

    Basically, it is measuring the nucleus of a unit of Uranium. Radioactive stuff. Hard and Dangerous work.

    I learnt a little more Finnish.

    Really, what did you expect from a linguist like me?

    I use Mega Barn Parsecs as my unit of measurement. It equates to about two thirds of a tea spoon.

    I learned, siblings are bound to go through videos I took of myself singing on the family camera....
    I also learned that I don't like old-tasting food... somehow I didn't know that? :derpe:
    Aditionally learned that homework is no fun in large clumps.
    ...okay, maybe I already knew that one.

    No you're not - that's just a side effect of learning.

    You're discovering your ignorance - very different.

    11 more posts, Dwynter. Good luck.
    Anyways, he's right; discovering your ignorance is completely different from being a Dummkoph.
    I learned that the hard way in 8th grade. :trixieftw:

    Well, don't expect me to post just to get more posts!

    *looks around*

    Uh, that's not what this is - this is a post explaining that I won't post just to post posts.

    *looks around again*

    I think I've learned I over-think situations.

    The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that there's a cure for ignorance. :p

    Today I learned I apparently miss playing Dungeons & Dragons so much that I had a dream about it. Help. D:

    I have learned that I love Fluttershy unconditionally after Zephyr dismissed a seapony version of her.

    Today I learned not everything has to be done to the extreme, the cinnamon challenge for example. I never want to be near cinnamon again. I throat is on fire and it's been 5 hours.

    I always wanted to do that. Sorry I stole your star Glitter.

    *hands it back* You can have it back.
