I learned today that apparently Bruce Willis is hitting up Lindsay Lohan.

How 'bout them green apples!

I learned that even if you only eat at your 4-star resort and don't drink the water, you can still get a serious bacterial infection from going to Mexico. And it can show up two weeks after you get back.

I learned that when you use your credit card on the quick pay at the gas stations, and they authorise it for 100 or 75 dollars or whatever, you don't get the unspend credit back from the authorization for 3-5 business days! Even if you only buy 10 bucks of gas!

'I'm sorry sir, your card is declined...'

"WHAT?"

I learned that the Kids Cancer Care Foundation is just a few days behind in getting the pledge packages out - I'm now collecting


I also learned that OJ Simpson was originally cast as The Terminator, but a studio executive veto'd it because 'nobody would believe such a nice guy to be a ruthless killer'

I learned that I didn't get paid for the 3 days of vacation I took last week. :mad2:

Today, it was 84 F in Wichita. I just learned that the high tomorrow is supposed to be 45 F.

I learned that you need to lock your doors at night in Edmonton. My buddy's apartment was robbed while he slept.

I learned that losing 85GB of LEGAL music files in a hard drive crash is a very painful thing.

I learned again...that packing to move is a fataing pain in the arse! Talk about dumping tons of stuff that only a pack rat like me would think had a purpose.

The funny thing is...30 minutes after putting this shinguarde on the street for garbage collection...some other packrat thought it was good enough to collect and take home.

Tonight I learned:

The Singapore Sams on 11th tows cars in a blink if you're illegaly parked in their stalls.

Their food tastes like feline shinguard.

The people at the Calgary Parking Authority are incredibly nice and polite, but the #$#@'s still towed your car.

You need to get there before 7pm before they'll let you get a purse / wallet out of the car.

When your g/f does all of the above there's a right way and a wrong way to talk about it

I also leanred that Asashoryu can break a record for most victories by a Yokozuna in the shortest periodof time this year.
I also learned today that Asashoryu has won his first four matches in a grand total of 12 seconds.

And not one of his first four opponents have put their hands on his nice new gold mawashi.

B-)
