I think it's caused by swamp gas from a weather balloon that was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

They got to you too, eh?

Somewhat related...today I learned that there is actually a little landrover on Mars at the moment. It's been there for a few years, running off of solar power, and has gone a considerable distance to take pictures and analyze dirt 'n rocks. I always knew they had sent one, I just didn't know it was still up there.

Today I learned that just because I work at a hospital doesnt mean I cant get sick

[Kraco]

Ho... Aren't you supposed to be an old acquaintance of MRSA and other jolly good superbugs if you work at a hospital, near the patients?

[Phoenix20578]

Yeah, unfortunetly...... Luckly, I get good medical coverage cause I work there

Today I leared why sweating actually cools you down. Apparently, it's not the act of sweating itself, but the evaporation of the sweat into the atmosphere. The evaporation proceess asorbs heat, taking heat from the body. Now, this is also why a humid day feels so uncomfy. The more humid the air is, the more water is in the atmosphere, so when you sweat the sweat won't likely evaporate, thus no transfer of heat and uncomfort.

I actually learned this awhile ago, but found it fascinating.

Today (over the last three days) I learned that I'm in love with Neil Strauss. It's the first time in my life I seriously have idol worship. I feel like a little girl who has met her favourite boy band.
