I learned that never sleep under a ceiling fan because they can come loose and almost fall on you while you are sleeping.

Which is why I absolutely refuse to have those things in my house. Just the thought of something spinning around a few feet above my head scares the poop out of me.

Used to be a lot of little kids that lived in this house before I moved in. The ceiling fan has race cars on the them. Kind of awkward when the gals come over, to say the least.

did you know Pittsburgh was used for economic discrimination? They(Birmingham, Alabama) used to put fictional fees on any coal or iron ore getting shipped away from Alabama because they would say its from Pittsburgh when it really wasent. As a result Alabama steel no matter where it was delivered was charged a fee because it was believed to have been shipped from Pittsburgh. This was during the early 1900's.

I learned long ago that making that same noise at a female co-worker wearing flip-flops with huge feet is a bad idea.

Just learned that the montage for the game against patriots features music from a band from my country (Denmark). The one that starts when you go to the home page of this site. I was like - wait... that sounds familiar... hey isn't that! Yup - that's Volbeat! :-)

Today I learned that when some farmers market vendors sell bacon that is preservative free (or fresh), that might include no salt. Also, bacon with no salt on it is like eating a tasteless pork chop.
