I learned that in Japan, it is not a good thing to give sick people rooted plants as gifts.

Also, how to say, "I want my ex-boyfriend to be happy," and, "When I was young, I wanted a pony."

Scrapple is like politics and sausage, you shouldn't ask how its made.

Today I learnt it is usually a good idea to read the dispatch e-mail when you buy things on line.

I learnt that a few nights ago.
Mixing beer, aquavit and Finns is very very bad: hangover will follow. Thing is, Finns don't let you go home until the glasses are empty (in a bar -- in their homes, the bottles)

That my insurance covers damage from spacecraft and guided missiles, but not from a nuclear detonation, even if the detonation is ruled an accident. That's interesting.

What if the detonation is from a spacecraft or
guided missile?

I thinks that's one of those: "if this has happened to you you got bigger problems than insurance" clauses.

What woke me up in the middle of the night was not an earthquake, but my cat.

I totally did !

ArkanGL inadvertently locked me in the bedroom when he went to bed.
Since I couldn't go around the apartment and min my usual business, I waited until he was sound asleep.

Then, I jumped on him, and started purring as loud as I could.
By then, he was dreaming of earthquakes.
After a while, I started jumping around, and punching him.

He woke up, convinced that the earthquake was really happening.

Heheheee Smile
