Hey, yeah! Crazy. My friends and acquaintances are really smart, I guess.The same people who are also specialists in government subsidy programs, the national debt, the war on terror, the war on drugs, and how taxes are too high?
Or for me it means an ice cold beer.

Today I learned:
1. Rowling wrote Snape with Alan Rickman in mind.
2. The James Bond Theme was based on a earlier unused piece from a Hindu-themed musical by the same composer.
3. The now-famous swimsuit scene from Casino Royale was not originally a nod to Dr. No. It wasn't planned at all--Craig ran into an underwater sand mound and had to stand up.

Today I learned that saying "come on, tubs, you wanted to go to the gym like three hours ago" isn't the best way to get my female roommate to hurry.

Last week I learned: I can balance a bag of frozen broccoli on my head for up to two hours.
TIL that I can fit in a sewer pipe... barely.
TIAL that a 6'2" 245lbs (+~ 20 lbs of gear) man coming through a sewer pipe is NOT a reassuring sight for a small black kitten.

That's why you bring a laser pointer.
I used the targetting laser on my taser. Not a single fuck was given due to lurking horror in the pipes. "MEOW MEOW FUCK YOU FATTY, I SEE YOU THERE!"

If only I was still able to sire some
Have you considered kidnapping? Stienman may not notice one or two missing for a few weeks, plenty of time to get a head start.If only I was still able to sire some
I'm sure by the time they cure cancer, they'll have perfected the creation of gametes from normal cells.If only I was still able to sire some

Right?
That's weird, right?
Everyone agrees this is weird, right?
EVERYONE IS AS UNNECESSARILY BOTHERED BY THIS AS I AM RIGHT? I NEED VALIDATION

No, I don't think that's weird. They do that on the pedestrian bridge in my hometown, too. If memory serves, you're also supposed to throw the key into the river or something...
That's just littering.
People are weird, no wonder I mostly try to avoid them.
It's the same with throwing coins into fountains...

Some people have A LOT of free time on their hands. I can't wait to see how they work in John Ratzenberger as a recurring immortal spirit. He's a wisp!
Isn't that because they don't want to accidentally get guys hooked on girls with small breasts (i.e., adolescents and below)?
Ah. It appears so.

And this applies to both domestically-produced porn and foreign-produced porn, right?
Hmm... now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever tried Australian porn. I should rectify this.
My friend explained to me that bra sizes aren't absolute, but actually a proportion of band/cup size.
And, while internationally, all countries use letter + number, the numbers and letters actually mean different things. You know, to make it nice and clear.
TIL: you can make a spoiler tag give a different message when closed vs when open.
Also, it IS possible to give the exact amount of information about maple syrup that every Canadian will say "well, duh", while every other person in the world thinks "TL;DR".
