What I Learned This Week - 3/29/13

1.  There are certain people you don't tell your bucket list to - they will make you do three of them right now.
2. Most men could care less how clean/dirty a room is when there is something shiny and mechanical in the middle of it.
3. Wives are horrified by #2 - and yes, I got in big trouble.
4. When at Disney Land/world and you see characters from Toy Story – if you yell, “Andy’s Coming!” the characters will stop what they are doing and fall on the ground.
5. I don't think there will ever be a winner in the ice cream - gelato - frozen yogurt discussion in my household.
6. Some of the best memories come from really bad ideas.
7. You cannot unsee the things that pop up in a Google search when you misspell "bigeminy". Definitely don't turn off safe search.
8. This is the first Passover over season where bread hasn't even crossed my mind. I will blame my triathlon training plan.
9. The 2014 Cadillac CTS was revealed at the New York Auto show. I may have drooled too early. Now I think it looks like a BMW and an Audi had a baby. That makes me sad.
10. Stevia is not the country of origin of most Steves.
11. There is a man in England that does voice-overs to sound exactly like Morgan Freeman and pays Morgan Freeman royalties to sound like Morgan Freeman without asking Morgan Freeman permission.  Morgan Freeman made no request for the royalties – he just started getting checks one day. It must be good to be Morgan Freeman.
12. People who say numbers aren’t for everyone never found a twenty dollar bill in the washing machine.
13. With the amount of technology and instantaneous information that surrounds me, I am often flabbergasted that people still use faxes. 
14. Scientists at Georgia Institute of technology have created a recyclable solar cell from trees – before reading the actual report my first thought was, “they invented a tree?”. Someday scientists will figure out trees/plants are already solar collectors. No to convert their potential for growth into energy – that’s the trillion dollar industry.
15. The world record for largest potato and largest French fry are held by two different people. Apparently the farmer had no idea how to cook.
