I learned that someone would actually ruin a delicacy like a Rice Krispie Treat by dipping it into coffee.

... actually, rice krispie treats with coffee-flavored chocolate pieces sounds delicious.

Coffee flavored maybe, but if you're dipping a rice krispie treat in some hot water with grains floating in it and calling that an improvement then how dare you

The Dwarf Planet Ceres in the asteroid belt is spherical. That's why it qualifies for Dwarf Planet status.

Super Metroid has lied to me.

Bah. So it has an odd name. Probably named after Sir Gropecunt or some old forest or

believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas

I'll be damned.

Sometimes that spade really is a spade. Especially if it was named by peasants.

Today I learned that Iron Man was rushed into production with a bare-bones outline rather than a script in order to get the film into theatres before The Dark Knight. Subsequently, the bulk of the dialogue was improvised.

I apparently have the lowest blood pressure on the planet. I had to get a bunch of blood taken for tests today and as always it took a bunch of tries to get anything, then when she hit a vein it took foreeeever for the thing to fill. She kept telling me to look at it and how she'd never seen blood flow that slowly before.

Finally she called in another nurse to tap me and had more luck, but I nearly passed out after they finally filled the second vial. The second nurse took my blood pressure and announced that they needed the doctor fast, only for the first nurse to tell her to take a look at the first reading.

Second nurse looked over it, glanced to the first nurse and just said "really? Oh wow!"

Today I learned about Gropecunt Lane

Quote from: Very Helpful Wikipedia Article
Gropecunt [...] appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and cunt.

Quote from: Werner Herzog
"... a combination of the words "thug" and "magnificent".

My understanding is that that's mostly true of the last half of the movie, while the first half was more fully scripted.

You know, the GOOD half.

I guess you can feel free to eat a ton of salt?*

There's a Swedish weightlifter with my last name (which is unusual for North America, but semi-common in Sweden, where it originates), but whose first name is "Mandingo". He is of course, very, very, white.

Huh. Yeah, you could really tell in a couple of scenes in the movie. Like that bit with the pizza.

Guess it was a good idea that they got Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges.

That it's worth buying from Ashley Furniture Homestore just to listen to the automated confirmation system that they clearly fine-tuned to sound as much like GLaDOS as possible.

Hel-lo, and, a-gain, thank you for your pur-chase from ASH-LEY-FUR-NI-TURE-HOME-STO-ORE.  We will be de-li-ver-ing your JA-VA-LE-A-THER-SO-FA and you are a ter-ri-ble per-son.
