What I Learned This Week - 3/15/13

1.  My young springer has nightly conversations with the coyote pack across the valley.
2. The phrase, “go Fonzie on it”, is completely meaningless to my kids.
3. When you grab a random range of numbers (no, not thinking to infinity), 30% more start with “1” than any other digit. This is proven through Benford’s Law. I didn’t believe it at first either.
4. A man hacked my favorite old arcade video game "Donkey Kong" so that his daughter could play as the princess and rescue Mario. You sir, are OSM.
5. A canine grand mal seizure is every bit as horrific as one can imagine, more so at 1:00 am. I can't fathom experiencing it with a person.
6. Anyone who tells you a Springer Puppy isn't an appropriate wedding gift lies.
7. Pulling an all-nighter is extremely painful at my age. I remember it being a lot more rewarding.
8. My beloved Google Reader is discontinuing service in July. I am very sad.
9. If you have a chronic cough, swimming drills are not a good idea - unless you like inhaling half the pool.
10. My maturity level is directly related to the company I'm with.
11. There are certain questions you never, ever ask Kevin. No, EV-ER.
12. When I see a typo I look at the keyboard to see if the two keys were close.
13. Some graffiti makes me laugh aloud for several minutes. Like this one – two things I hate, graffiti and irony.
14. Leonardo DiCaprio never died in Titanic. Last scene: Leo slowly drifts underwater. 1st Scene in Inception: Leo wakes up on a beach.
15. Paypal is evil.
