“Timo Y Mentiras” is Spanish for “Scam and Lying” ~http://www.skepticreport.com/sr/?p=459
I found out that "any lossless compression algorithm, provided it makes some inputs smaller (as the name compression suggests), will also make some other inputs larger."
It all makes perfect sense in hindsight, with the pigeonhole principle, etc.

Only if he's Caucasian.
If Tom Williams is ready this post, does the above ring a Bell?

Quick note, and maybe not relative, but didn't Satoshi Nakamoko, the founder, pen the word Karma a few times?
~Bruno~ (more leaks soon!)

I learnt today that Zhou Tong is returning stolen money within the next 24 hours.
I've learned that my penis swells when I see this: http://imadyme.com/site/data/media/12/hot_chick.jpg
Yes, I like fur coats, too.
Today Ive learnt that you can buy relics using credit cards.
I've learned today that not all cryptocurrency miners are comfortable with hacking electronics. No pun intended.
I've learned today how to solo mine LTC, and also learned, a switch may be used after the switch, -server.
I was sleeping and had a weird dream that I had forgotten to send someone some merchandise for over a month, and they were sending me PMs wondering where their stuff was - but I couldn't figure out or remember what it was that I hadn't sent. The weird dream woke me up.
So I got up logged into bitcointalk and I actually had personal messages in my inbox that someone had just sent me BTC and wanted to buy something I was selling! The PMs didn't say what it was they wanted though, so I was searching through all my past posts trying to match up how much they paid with my listings, trying to add up the cost of items to see what they wanted. The aggravation of this also woke me up - I was still dreaming!
So I learned that I dream about Bitcoin two inception levels deep...

Coming out of a Walmart in Texas I doubt mine is counterfeit but good article!

Heard through the grapevine that a new Bitcoin Magazine issue is forthcoming. A sneak preview?

Today I learned that mysterious short-wave radio broadcasts that I listened to as a kid - of a woman reading numbers in groups of five digits - belong to what is called "numbers stations." Knowing that people came up with a name for it still doesn't teach me anything new, other than that I wasn't hallucinating. Or is it a mass hallucination?
I had a notebook where I was writing down numbers and attempting some childish cryptanalysis - little did I know it was all a one-time pad.

...a one-time pad. 
(Smiley mine) I found that humorous if you meant it as a play on words (fad), coupled with the following life experience.
Shortly after becoming a winning poker player in Las Vegas, I felt it important to keep track of all my expenses. I did so with six-column ledgers. I kept this up for just shy of two years. I only have one ledger left, the others lost to Katrina, and still find myself reading it about twice a year.
It's funny how I felt it important at the time to write down that I found a penny on the ground, waitress tips, Walmart expenditures, and even giving a bum a buck and another exactly $.57, freeing the jingle from by jeans. I even incorporated diary-like notes in the margins, glad I did so now, for to this day I can still fantasize about this waitress named Nanette.
