I have a weird memory quirk where I cannot remember my locker number. I can remember it's location though. I have found a way to remember my number though. Say my locker is "25." I'll think to myself before leaving, "Square root of 25 is 5." Then when I am in the locker room I'll be like, "square root of 25, oh yeah!" Or like today I had 23 and though, "The Number 23...". Anyway, that seems to really help me commit the number to memory.

I finally learned why "Eskimo" (Esquimaux) is considered pejorative. It's considered to mean "eaters of raw meat". Though there seem to be two other unoffensive possible meanings: "snowshoe netter" and "people who speak a different language".

I learned that the legal consumption of alcohol tastes surprisingly the same as its illegal counterpart.

I also learned that Tuesday Night is Electro Night at the local college bar.

Lastly, I learned that the Dallas Stars used to be the Minnesota North Stars...surprised that tid bit of sports trivia never crossed my path before.

Don't get me started on pointless and random hockey knowledge. I know most of it from how many points a player got in a given year (unless it's an obscure player) and what arenas each team plays at barring a few in the East.



On that note, today I learned that when my cat scratches me accidentally, my skin gets irritated.

Re: What did you learn today?
 

Yeah "eaters of raw meat" is so offensive because they never... oh wait.

Actually I don't know if they ever eat raw meat. And I've been saying Inuit in the last years. :)

A few weeks ago I learned that the often used term 'horeca' is short for hotel, restaurant and café. It's only used in Holland though.

Just learned that it's not easy to give yourself an even mohawk. Usually try it halfheartedly whenever I shave my head. This time actually tried...and yeah, bald again.

The Eskimos are like the Amish. I'll stop making fun of them when they get computers and Internet in their igloos.

Wow, they won't be leaving their igloo for a while. fap fap fap

(They have electricity)
But shh it's a secret.

So it's the Inuit that cause global warming! The bastards. We should make sure they never eat raw meat again. :mad:

Raccoons have penis bones, and there is one on display at Union Hall.

The kid in a wheelchair in Glee is the kid that Michael and Dwight kidnap during Launch Party in season 4.

That Danny and Sam believe that fedoras are a Canadian thing.

Sometimes as long as 2 ft, fossilized bacula (penis bones) are often polished and used as a handle for knives and other tools. They're frequently sold as souvenirs to tourists by Alaska Natives, the only people permitted to hunt the walrus today.

...seems like everything I learn now has to do with Inuits.

Interesting.

A magic cross piercing is when two piercings form a cross through the glans of the penis.


...Inuits and penises..

I discovered I'm not the only dutch one who's going to see Marit Larsen in Köln, Germany! There's another guy I know. So at least we can travel together.
