Also, I learned that 70 foreign exchange students from Germany are attending my school until the end of the first semester (december) to learn the english language.And one of them is in my mechanics class and his name is Christopher Klup something. He is such a cutie.^_^
Today I learned that buying a fruit drink you've never seen or heard of before isn't the greatest idea.
It tasted like medicine. :(

today I learned precisely why it's important that we define pushdown automata as nondeterministic when we're talking about recognizing non-trivial context-free languages. We didn't talk about strategies for dealing with that nondeterminism though... but I know of two or three anyway.

I also learned that a lot of cognitive psychologists from the 50's and 60's were remarkably foolish and oblivious.
@kippykinkel don't do that shit! just because it can be decoded unconsciously doesn't mean that it's not more taxing (annoying) tn the mind to confirm what's being said.
I've seen the exact same video, only instead of a woman with an umbrella, it's a guy in a gorillla suit. About 10 people saw it (I wasn't one of them) out of ~100. Pretty cool.Quote:

Theres always new things discovered that may "protect" the brain form Alzheimer's, it's just an excuse to get things published. I did a 4 week internship with a lab that specifies on Alzheimer's; all they did was western blots and such. I don't know how they come by these "new developments," since techically the protein responsible hasn't completely been identified.Quote:

Dear thread,
Today I learned that sleeping on carpetted floor is comfortable only for the first 6 hours; anything beyond that makes your spine feel practically nonexistant.
Don't be so spineless. (Sorry, couldn't help it.)
Today I learned that my radio station is getting money from Google. There's a guy from Google here right now. I'm resisting the urge to steal his Blackberry and copy all the numbers.
Today I learned that walking into a room full of guys and asking, "Do you have any sugar?" can be interpreted in a variety of ways that I didn't intend...
