    They say you learn something new every day.

    Perhaps you've found the answer to the age old question, "Why is the sky blue?", or maybe you've discovered what that extra button on your microwave is for. Maybe a co-worker has given you some useless trivia that you just have to pass on.

    From the mundane to the profound, to the bizarre. Tell us what you've learned today!


    *****

    Today I learned:
    - I went to elementary (or primary or grade) school with my boss's son :eek:
    - When you plug headphones into your iPod, it automatically turns on. You you pull them out, it automatically turns off. Very handy for when you drop it *is guilty*
    - Filling out a passport application form is very tedious.
    - Siblings can be really annoying. No, wait, I already knew that... :p

    I learnt there's a city called Nariz, which means Nose, in Portugal.
    I found out that wait for someone that will arrive in a bus can be so boring, especially when you are really looking forward for that to happen!

    Ok seriously... I'm sorry but I see that it's pointless to write these "I learnt that coffee is hot"

    So if it's something really really new that you didn't know before, then post it.

    Otherwise, nono and this thread will get a nice and shiny padlock
