I learned that when you dont feel like arting and art project. You should try arting it and the art will reward itself.

Art does not art itself.

In addition, itis possible to make a canoe out of pizza crust. Rather small but it floats.

I learned how faith healers creates the illusion of lengthening someone's leg:

I learned that reading the line "Lord Cockburn's test for obscenity, however..." in the middle of a serious Harvard Law Review text will make me giggle.

I learned that an Imperial Crown car (land yacht) from 1962 is 19 feet long.

Her secret? They come with happy endings most likely.

I've got a mole on my foreskin

I learned a few things about the history of heavy-duty 'clearing solutions' for seeing bone in animal tissue (modify the optical index of refraction such that light of visible wavelengths travel easier through animal tissue)...

google search for:
CLEARING SPECIMENS FOR THE DEMONSTRATION OF BONE
R. W. CUMLEY, J. F. CROW and A. B. GRIFFEN (1939)

or, if you need to see them bones faster...

A RAPID METHOD FOR CLEARING AND STAINING
SPECIMENS FOR THE DEMONSTRATION OF BONE
MARGARET C. GREEN (1952)

Also I learned that my garbage disposal is broken and leaking sink water... probably has been for some time...

I learned that it's really hard to get blood stains out of a clown suit.

A coke can (preferably empty) can be used to make a fishing reel for casting. Fantabulous !@@

Oh, what I actually learned is how Ulysses was censored/ banned and how one good judge unbanned it and set a great precedent against censorship of literature. But sadly, that judge was not Lord Cockburn.

Can't be any worse than "fun" stains (don't ask).

That doing sound design for exploding corpse magic is unusually good fun.

I learned about this new SiftTalk post.

I learned that people can be more horrible and disgusting an especially hypocritical, than I thought possible.

I like this sifttalk. Today I learned about breast ironing in Cameroon, thanks to videosift.

>> ^bareboards2:

What I find funny is your use of the word "merkin" as slang for American.
From Wiki: A merkin (first use 1617)[1] is a pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia, and are nowadays used as decorative items or in film making.

>> ^Trancecoach:
Daddy's coming home in a box either way.

I thought that was darkly comic, certainly appeals to my English sense of humour. I imagine many merkins might not take it especially well...



I learned what "merkins" are... no wonder they voted for Bush!

@hpqp, here are some great examples of merkins

^This is all kinds of awesome, thanks!!

TIL about geocaching.

>> ^BoneRemake:

That must be a GEOCache

Do not ever go to the motel 6 in Ogden Utah.

Don't drink 7 diet caffinated beverages and expect to get to sleep in a state where you are not allowed to smoke weed.

ILT-

Sleeping on a bed instead of the hard hard warm floor increases sleep productivity. Non-interrupted sleep is DREAMY !

Today I learned that I don't like Nicholas Cage as an actor. Though there are many artists that I dislike, there are relatively few that I didn't dislike immediately, that I have tolerated for so many years, and then suddenly develop or realize a deep-seated dislike for their works. The only other one that I can think of is Elton John. Queen was like that for me too, but after a shorter period of time. I stopped liking them when I was in High School. I stopped liking Elton John when I worked for a month in a kitchen where Elton John was the chef's favourite. And I stopped liking Nicholas Cage today when I saw The Lord Of Death. Great movie, shame it had to be Nick Cage. The script and production were great, the material was on the page. The Lord of Death could have been an academy award winning role. But instead they got Nick Cage.
