...Or that's what I've heard.

ITT: Post something
(And by that I mean (almost) anything)
* new you learned learnt today. (Yesterday is fine too, I guess. But nothing much older than that, please.)


I learnt today that Dead Ringer spies in TF2 won't stay dead, no matter how much you keep killing them ._.
They always seem to find a way to fill their cloak and feign death before you manage to finish them off.

So, what about you?


P.S. British English > American English.

*Edit: By "almost anything" I mean "anything that is allowed by SWF's rules"

I learned today that the british correctly spell learned with a t instead of an ed.
Corrected. American English is largely just a *******ization of British English, German, and even French along with dialectal slang.

I learned that people will like you for who you are is lie.
I think that statement is true ):

You'll always have people who will like you for who you are, and they end up being your closest friends. You just won't be able to get everyone to like you.

Well, that's only if you aren't a loser. If you are, you have to play pretend to get people to like you.

I learned that processors use loop unrolling to increase overall speed by allowing several instructions to execute simultaneously.

I learnt this last Thursday actually, but whatever.. *whistles tries to look innocently while breaking his own rules*

So, last Thursday I learnt how to convert numbers between decimal, hexadecimal and binary.

And today, just 10 minutes ago, I learnt that the prank that Sly Fox did to me actually worked, even if it was a little late.

Edit: I forgot that I can't whistle.. :/

I learnt that in mental asylums/jails, they buried dead bodies standing upright facing freedom (outside the walls) so they could never "Rest in Peace".

That's just fudged, good Psychology excursion though. :)

In that ruined tower, atop a mountain.
I used to have these what I call "Lesson of the Day" stuff. They were usually idiotic, yet still valuable.

Lesson of the Day: Chugging down several cans of soda after a day of moving furniture may not be the best thing to do. I've never heard my stomach make so much noise before in my life. I could've sworn it even spoke to me, something about how I'd soon suffer it's wrath 'n such.

I learned that every stock I own is down. I also learned that salami grows really nasty green stuff on it if it rots.

Denzi and I shouldnt be allowed to pick up our little sisters from their little freshman dances xD

And the chemical formula for ammonia is NH3 while ammonium is NH4. Really useful for balancing chemical equations.

Because both are so related xD

Fixed.
That's what I learned today.

Oh, and I learnt that "learned" is spelled "learnt" in England, at least. I never knew that.
Hehe, Americans... *shakes head while smiling*

Everyone is out to get me, not just my school.

-Completely unnecessary paranoia taking over-

I learnt that Americans try to mess up the English language.

Seriously, what is "Color", "Honor", and "Valor" all about?!
