armadillos carry leprosy

well, duh. how do you think people get leprosy in the first place?
― pplains, Thursday, 15 December 2016 14:29 (seven years ago) link
Leprosy always seemed like an unfair tradeoff for people who are clever enough to have figured out how to fuck an armadillo.

I was a teenager when I found out that Ku Klux Klan were not a cartoon or a band but something more serious. My first guess would have been a cartoon about chickens. Clue Clucks Clan: Chicken Detectives.
I seen 3 Women a few weeks ago and its shockingly late to learn that Shelley Duvall is really beautiful.

That window seats on planes are preferable to aisle seats. Going against habit I got a window seat on a whim recently and realized how nice it is not to be constantly bumped or brushed against by aisle traffic

I have a weak bladder, so I always prefer aisle seats, it's awkward to wake up some random person who's trying to sleep so I can pee.

Only figured out upon hearing it today (probably because I never paid anything but peripheral attention to the song before) that Adam Duritz is the second voice on '6th Avenue Heartache'.
Yeah, I don't really care, either.

There was one of those 3-D computer-generated shows starring the Mouse. Soundtrack by They Might Be Giants
Annnoyed me at :59 how fast the characters disappeared from them leaving the gate to when the camera pans to its wide shot.

That the power on/off symbols '|' and 'O' come from the binary system, 1 and 0. This knowledge helps enormously to keep the two apart.
It took me ages to learn which is which. I think this is because I have a memory of shutting down a television set when I was young, you'd see this fading flash that, in our case, resembled '|'. So I always thought that meant 'off', and O seemed logical to me to mean 'on', in an open circuit kind of way.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 19 January 2017 15:26 (seven years ago) link
It never even occurred to me. I just thought it was a cool symbol.
― pplains, Thursday, 19 January 2017 16:59 (seven years ago) link
a lot of these symbols that are just 'symbols' on the surface are actually quite logical. Like the divide-by sign (a dot, above a line, above a dot - can't find it on a modern keyboard) is just a representation of what you'd do with long division.
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Thursday, 19 January 2017 19:31 (seven years ago) link
That makes sense. But to me '|' feels way more like 'closed', or off, than O which feels open or on. But it's the other way around.

that americans think michael flateley is irish

Most American Irish are more likely to have predominate DNA/family history that hails from the fjords, brits or the Nazis, you can't blame them for trying really.
