Since this is a very special day.... I figured I'd ask what have everyone has learned today.

(OK, one of the reasons I created this thread was because I wanted to share this cool WT tip)

Did you know.....
That when if you click on the "actual number" under the replies column for each thread, you can actually see how many times each person replied.

This way you can find out who the posting crazies are for each thread .......

I didnt know that I'll have to go check out the forum game threads and see who the junkies are!

I didn't learn anything per se yet, but I did see a news story of a woman who proposed to her boyfriend today so he'd have it easy on the anniversaries

It made me wonder about people with birthdays on feb29. If I had a kid born on that day I'd be careful to say "I'll help you buy a car on your 16th birthday" Instead of "I'll help you buy a car when your 16 years old"

James that is neat.

Here is something I learned today, I found out that certified mail is always registered, but registered mail is not always certified.

I was born in 87 (By born I mean pieced together in a lab from the remains of much lesser beings) so I guess that makes it 5 for me as well. Since today is a special day... I intend to celebrate by skipping one of my classes and recover from my midterm yesterday.

Unfortunately I have a class that I cannot miss that starts at 5PM (on a Friday!!!) and lasts two hours. This I think is proof that college is really only a means for some shady government controled group of mad scientists to test the limits of our sanity. And that is what I learned today.

James I didn't know that about the thread count before (I actually scratched my head when you first said it and I had to do a bit of surfing round the site to figure out what you meant ).

One thing I guess I've learned that the eNom support/sales are appallingly slow at answering tickets on their site - I placed one yesterday, approximately 36 hours ago and it hasn't yet been answered!

I have learned that, while riding a bike, flatulence does not appreciably affect one's forward momemtum, even if lit. It does, however, make people run in the opposite direction, thus providing the illusion of moving faster than before.
