What I Learned This Week - 10/05/12

1. There is such a thing as popcorn on the cob.
2. I am not ashamed I laughed very hard at Samuel L Jackson's reading/singing the “children's” book, "Go the F** to sleep!"
3. 12 people just Googled the previous video.
4. I have no idea why I didn’t think of the series of Dr. Seuss books based on Star Wars first, “One droid, two droids, red droid, blue droid”.
5. I’m pretty sure I could get enough dads in town to participate in a GranDonut bike race. Who doesn’t want to eat a dozen donuts and ride a bike? http://www.fatcyclist.com/2012/09/27/why-the-grandonut-race-matters/
6. I love game night…especially with friends.
7. Tim Tebow has a BMI of 29.5 - according to that index he is borderline obese. Yeah, right.
8. Whenever I enter a certain co-workers office, I completely lose any mental recall function for simple things, like...um…words. I’m pretty certain he thinks I’m an idiot.
9. Men and women view personal space very differently – especially when on public transportation.
10. I really wish I could do a good John Madden impression for the sole purpose of making meetings more entertaining, “Now here’s a guy who has no idea what the budget is…”
11. You can actually purchase a Commodore 64 with modern components, in the original-esque keyboard/case for approximately ten times its 1980’s MSRP. I am so very tempted.
12. Coyotes are monogamous. I now understand what their howls are all about. Seems I'm not the only one sleeping on the couch a lot.
13. Siri is iris backwards. Iris was the messenger of the Greek gods.
14. I find it a little frightening that I actually like being that guy on certain rides/runs that can push people hard enough they vomit.
15. I don't like being on the receiving end of that last statement.
16. No one can resist commenting on my running shoes.
17. I can't believe the country is upset with a statement about cancelling funding for PBS. I'm more worried that Snuffleupagus will get be homeless. To heck with Big Bird.
18. My kids think "50 Shades of Gray" is a book about how dogs view the sunset.
19. Every man now has a flawless reason for not asking for directions - Apple maps.
