Thread: Well, I Never Knew That!

  1. #1

    Grin Well, I Never Knew That!

    I learned something new today! You know those vans that are employed by councils on aging and other help-for-the-elderly groups that provide wheelchair accessible transportation to the eldery? Well, those are called "ambulettes".

    What did you learn today?

    I didn't learn anything today, but last night I learned how buttons were made. I have since forgotten most of it though.

    Were you watching "How its made" or a similar show on Discovery? I saw an episode with buttons on it. But I usually forget the majority of those shows. >_>


    Today, I learned that...
    ....Pong in text form is extremely lame.
    ...That a year prescription of Legend of Zelda comics cost $18 back in 1991.
    ...The a Black Sea deluge may be the foundation for a lot of ancient flood stories.

    I'm also trying to teach myself french. No luck so far..

    Yes, you are exactly right MadeOfApples. I love that show because they always show crap that at first I think "I don't care how that is made" and then as it goes a long I think "wow, that's a lot more involved than I thought it would be."

    Of course, I wasn't in charge of the T.V. at the time. I probably wouldn't have even watched it otherwise.

    Okay, I learned something today. I learned that before today I have in fact posted at EoFF twice in the current year.

    I think it means: "It's not difficult, Made of apples"

    I can't remember what Fait means.

    It does.

    I knew that he said difficult and apples so I figured he either said "Its not difficult, Made of Apples" or "Its very difficult, Made of Apples".

    Those shows always sound uninteresting but once I start watching them, I have to finish the whole episode. The narrator is a little dull so I don't remember a lot of what I learned -_-

    EDIT:

    Left out a word in one of my sentences.
