What I Learned This Week - 3/30/18

1.  629 days until Star Wars Episode IX is in theaters.
2. The love of numbers of Sesame Street’s character, Count von Count, isn’t a quirky character trait, it’s based on vampire folklore that they have arithmomania – a compulsion to count. #AhAhAh
3. I’ve never seen a commercial for any Chinese restaurant. #ever
4. After a comprehensive survey of three people in my office, I believe the apocalypse will not be a final epic battle of humanity, but an event that just makes people give up out of total frustration. #ThisiIsStupidWhyAmIDoingThis
5. According to my youngest, she could be allergic to dinosaurs but we will likely never find out. #maybe
6. At the surface, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned” and “Sorry, Daddy, I have been naughty” mean essentially the same thing. #LanguageIsWeird #ButtDialVSBootyCall
7. “Female” is a lot more fun to say when you make it match the phonetics of “tamale”. #kindof
8. My kids don’t believe that Moses was the first person to use a tablet by downloading data from the cloud. #maybe
9. “USB-powered-pocket-wok” is a thing. #CooksANoodle
10. Nothing quite says, "this is someone else's problem now", like a leaf blower.
11. Forgetting it's recycling day and hearing the truck go by is the adult equivalent to missing the ice cream truck. #SortOf
12. The Powerpuff girls get their power from Chemical X, as in the X Chromosome – so basically their power is “girl power”.
13. I find it more amusing than I should that the lines on the fay pride flag are straight. #Geometry
14. I believe I correct autocorrect more times than it correctly corrects me. #NeverToldSomeoneToDuckOff
