Today I learnt about a pretty smart idea to prevent a password from being guessed by looking at the movements of the hand:

This 53 year old bod can still walk a mile in a blizzard. Walked to Walgreen's here in Sandwich because truck buried in snow. This is all Kano's fault.

I learnt that I can still shovel snow a ~week before my 53rd birthday. 3" last night, and the first time this year I had to use a shovel. Twice this winter I've used a broom and have used only 2 bags of salt purchased two years ago, for I didn't even need the surplus from then last winter.

Up to three weeks ago, our grass was still green, but now it's tan. The lilacs were ready to pop buds a couple days ago. Got to blame it on the ASIC not being delivered on time causing all this warming.  Roll Eyes

My grandfather on my mom's side would have been 109 today if he wouldn't have died at the age of 88. I learnt that his grandfather was a renown train engineer in Pennsylvania after the Civil War.

My grandfather on my dad's side was in the German Army during WWII.

Square watermelons; flying squid; what next? Dung beetles navigate via the stars in the Milky Way? This thread is going to pot, and whoever started it, should lock it.

That there really are square watermelons and it's not too hard to make them.

Apparently, there is a species of squid that can fly:



Quote
A species of oceanic squid can fly more than 30 metres (100 feet) through the air at speeds faster than Usain Bolt if it wants to escape predators, Japanese researchers said Friday.

So is lake Titicaca. Sadly, no titi there, but there's plenty of fish caca.

. Muscle anatomy, I'm actually tired from learning this because there's so much to remember Sad

. Almost completely learned how to make a basic Bezel setting for Jewellery which is a complete pain in the arse but definitely worth it

. Also learned that most open source shopping cart interfaces suck balls because they're all just clones of each other with frills attached, it looks like shelling out some Bitcoins is the best way to go especially if you want one that works with Bitcoin correctly

The word “February” is pronounced fe-broo-airy by some and feb-you-airy by others. That is interesting–I think it is a case of sound change, but I do not know (maybe it is dialectal thing?).
Also this is interesting:
OCTober oct means eight (octopus, octagon)
SEPTtember sept means seven in French
NOVember the nov represents nine (neuf is none in French)
DECember the dec represents ten

JANuary is not named for God of Asics.
FEBruary, not to be mistaken for FAB, is a very special month.
MARCH is what some people may consider doing if FEB doesn't turn out special.
APRIL will consist of many storms if people MARCH.
MAY is when there will be a parade.
JUNE is the first part of a well-known insect, not to be mistake for another insect having a wider wingspan--and colorful.
JULY could consist of fireworks, depending if there's a drought or not.
AUGUST: au·gust  [aw-guhst] (MAY or MAY not apply)
adjective
1. inspiring reverence or admiration; of supreme dignity or grandeur; majestic: an august performance of a religious drama.

TIL notme has fellings.

I've murdered more than one tree.

How many fellings do you have under your belt? Just for information, mind, I'm not some weirdo that gets off on thinking about other people making sweet, sweet lumber.


Why is it that I can related to that?

While driving the countryside, when I see dilapidated barns, I calculated their worth if salvaged. At least once, I found myself leaving the road after turning my head back around from viewing such goldmines.
