What I Learned This Week - 1/2/26

1.  There should be a law for manufacturers of power cord transformer plugs requiring them to be designed so that they do not block any other power outlet on the wall or power strip. #GetOnIt
2. My new favorite internet rabbit hole is viewing photos of squirrels taken on extremely windy days. #BestFacesEver 
3. Owls cannot sit criss-cross-applesauce style even though the interwebz believes they can. #YesItsWeird
4. Even though nearly everyone has read the beloved children’s book, “Frog and Toad”, no one seems to remember their teachings of how to be friends and just remembers that Toad was grumpy. #OrGay
5. Apparently, it’s not common knowledge that saying, "watch out for deer” is just another phrase for, “I love you”. #OrHateRisingInsurancePremiums
6. The word, “nun” is just the letter “n” doing a somersault. #maybe
7. There is a special level of self control required to work at a bubble wrap factory. #DidntGetTheJob
8. To this day I still don't know if the Grinch is his name, occupation, or ethnicity. #Seriously
9. The word for appreciating all types of music is, “polyjammerous”. #Maybe
10. Tripping over your wife's bra in the morning counts as falling into a bobby trap. #Bra1Lee0
11. Apparently, when a ghost screams, “BOO!”, they are speaking the Latin word for “ALARM”, which makes sense since Latin is a dead language. #TheMoreYouKnow
12. According to the person in front of me in the grocery checkout line talking to their college student, “Stop! English is what happened when Vikings learned Latin and used it to shout at Germans and then the French shouted back. Don’t make it hard”. #SheHasAPoint
13. I often wonder how long it take the Brrrrista’s at Dairy Queen to unlearn the, “turn the drink upside down to show you the Blizzard is mixed properly” with any beverage. #Oopsie
14. I am completely on board with my friends quest to eliminate the term “billionaire” from our vocabulary and replace it with “Modern day Robber Barrons”. #SameConcept
15. Eating oatmeal mixed with oat milk is redundant. #OatPower
16. Another year passes and my hopes to see teleportation in my lifetime still haven’t dwindled. #MaybeALittle
17. It’s only been a day and I’ve already heard, “Maybe 2027 will be my year”. #ShhhItsOkay
18. Although technically correct, I’m not allowed to refer to eye drops as “blinker fluid”. #ItWorksBetter
