What did you learn today?

[Cami]

I meant to post this thread last night, but didn't get the chance.

What I learned was a lot about strawberries. I probably should have done my research last month when we bought them. I found out I need to put straw or something down to keep the berries off the soil, I learned that chances are the reason they are producing many berries, or deformed ones, is because of all the rain we have been getting. I probably need to replant them into a straberry jar. They should be better next year.

So, what new thing did you learn?

I learned that the yankees aren't letting Arod play because they don't want to pay him and I think that' somethin.

i learned that if you want to see the worst Homers in the world in action, play a video of Derrick Rose telling the world he is the best player and watch what happens with Miami Heat fans...

The word mountebank. It was in the intro portion of the movie Sullivan's travels. They were giving affectionate thanks to all the people that made them laugh - including the motley mountebanks.

mountebank
ˈmountiˌbaNGk/
noun
noun: mountebank; plural noun: mountebanks

1.
a person who deceives others, esp. in order to trick them out of their money; a charlatan.
synonyms: swindler, charlatan, confidence trickster, fraud, fraudster, impostor, trickster, hoaxer;



I did not know that.

I learned that you think you know someone....right up until that time you don't....at all.

I also learned that the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou was more-or-less inspired by Sullivan's Travels. They mention a book by that name a couple times near the start. Probably didn't actually exist - just a made-up book to make the point about socially conscious chronicling of down-and-out peeps - and then the Coen Brothers picked up the ball 60 years later and ran with it, and mixed in Homer's Odyssey for good measure.

Actually I'm sure I knew that before - but then I forgot. So it's something I relearned today.

i learned that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the taste of a 4 month old sweet tart that has been under your bed and most likely licked on by 1 or more of your dogs :donthinkso:
