What Did You Learn Today 2009: THE DARK FRONTIER (DIGITALLY REMASTERED)

[Eris]

I learned that the old What Did You Learn Today thread has well exceeded 200 posts, and it's closing is imminent.

I also learned that I almost forgot my trademark all caps tagline for this thread.

[-Kitsune-]

I learned that no matter how well I do in school, my mom will still treat me like I'm braindead and feel the need to explain every little thing to me. She actually told me how to boil water, like I've never done it before.

I also learned how to count the rhythm and beat in a musical piece that is in 6/8 tempo, instead of the 4/4 that I'm more used to.
In relation to that, I also learned (Or rather cleared up some misunderstandings) about key signatures in choral music :]

[Anime Forum]

I learned how to overcome my fear of heights. I still need to overcome my fear of bees though.

Also, out of boredom, I donated 500 thou to some random person so that I would have exactly 1,125,813.21 points. Anyone who figures out the significance gets a cookie.

[Alycursed]

I learned that Samantha is indeed a skank.

[starchaser]

I learnt that the lugworm practical I spent 3 hours in the cold doing turned out to be missing half the data so I've had to steal half my friend's data. I also found out how to pay the uni for all the field courses I've been avoiding paying for.

Based on a google search, I would have to say that you are actually a 34 year old guy from Spain that hasn't logged into MySpace since 2006.

That too, but that isn't it.

On a sidenote, it hurts my math geek's heart that whomever got that UID didn't make a fuss about it. Having the uid 112581321, in mathematics, is like winning the lottery. It rivals 161803398 and 314159265.

[Eris]

Today I realized how continued fraction works.

Would it happen to be a Fibonacci sequence?

Because if that was what you were going for, you kind of failed. There shoud've been a 3 between the 2 and the 5.


Anyway, I learned that over half of the world's societies allow gay marriage.

I also learned that Jesus had a family. (Discovery Channel)

That was it, but I have no idea where the 3 went and hid? Heh, that's what you get for doing 30 things simultaneously.

Thanks for the cookie.

Actually, that's what I originally thought, but I dismissed it due to lacking a 3.

[Amarhyllis]

Today I learned about Fibonacci.

[MissAstaire]

I learned that Fandango lies and the people at the theatre could really care less.

Ah, but you mustn't underestimate the senility of physics majors. It's a miracle we function in society. They say they invented academia because it was cheaper than institutionalizing all these people. They are not completely wrong.

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

Today I learned about Fibonacci.

Since we're talking about it, and it's therefore semi-relevant, here's a song (Tool - Lateralus) that references it (Both in spiral references, and in a repeated verse that has lines written with syllable count corresponding to the Fibonacci sequence, acceding and descending).

It's an Akira AMV because there is no official video, and more importantly there's no reason it shouldn't be an Akira AMV (Although I think Tool - Ænima fits Akira better).

[Diocletian]

Eris doesn't look cool upside down and the name Sire Evers was stuck in my head and I miss it very much.

[jnLL]

i learned that a student like me could never finish 1 algebra & 1 geometry homework, 1 take-home chemistry quiz and study 3 subjects for tests tomorrow for only six hours.
i learned that my chemistry homework is indeed...difficult

[Amarhyllis]

I just learned that sometime this weekend I'll be getting a big popcorn shrimp dinner.
Yummy!!

[Eris]

I learned that I got a good score on the exam in advanced electrodynamics. I had no idea. I had an epic cold when I took the exam, and I thought for sure I was gonna fail so badly. I didn't even answer all the questions. But apparently not even that would stop me.

I also learned that I'm dirt poor. My collective wealth amounts to about one dollar. I spent the last of my dough on a pack of el cheapo cigarettes. But I get more money on Tuesday, so it's no biggie. I can mooch of my parents until then.

[Finvarra]

Today I Learnt that:
Guys take World of Warcraft way to seriously.
And, apparently, my boyfriend left me for it.
: (

[Yuuki Kurosu]

Reading through this, I'd have to say about the same thing as Kitsune-San.
No matter how well I do in school, it's not good enough for my parents and they as well treat me like I'm braindead.

[SSDynamite]

Today I learned that the two metre stick i got 7 years ago is actually useful for more than pretending it's a spear. It can be used for measuring how may mcfly posters I can put up on my wall
