What You Learned Today

Everyone likes to talk about themselves! Do it here so I don't have to read it. Ha ha! Just kidding. I'm actually illiterate.

It originally came to my attention from the cheap trivia-a-day calendar that sits on my desk. It simple stated, "Pineapples are classified as berries". Being that the calendar only cost $2, I set off to wikipedia for a second opinion.

Wikipedia wrote:Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is the common name for a tropical plant and its edible fruit, which is actually a multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries.


The stroke came due to the revelation, not the other way around.

Wait, so it's not just a berry, it's a shitload of berries that have been squished together?

Pineapples are officially the most awesome fruit ever.

I, for one, have never known a calendar to be wrong.

Yesterday I learned that if you get some dust under your upper eyelid the answer is not to panic because you can't get it out no matter how much you try and water can't get up under there and oh god it hurts and now your eyeballs are gonna get scratched up and you'll be blind forever and where is the nearest hospital and why did I even go outside today.

No the answer is to pull out your upper eyelid and pull it down over the height of your entire eye and then release. Problem solved, like instantly.

i learned that things in life don't go as planned always but then you would have to stand up and still do your best because no matter what hurdles come along your way as long as you are determined to reach your goal then you would reach it, maybe in a different way than what you planned for but you will get there eventually.

I wonder what spambots perceive as Satan...
