A couple of days ago, but...

I learned that Belgians are very relaxed about leaving all their Christmas decorations up for ages into January. And that Saint Nicholas visits Belgian children on December 6th to give them gifts, then they receive lots more gifts on Christmas Day :eek:
 
A newly formed lava bench on this island (approx. 55 acres) is expected to drop off into the ocean soon.
 
I learned that no one is who they seem & I really need to spend less time on this site

L:rose:
 
There is some game called strip words. Never heard of it, but it doesn't sound as fun as my farm game!
 
TIL that nearly 90% of people buy the thing they pin on Pinterest.

That surprised me because I feel like I pin a lot of mansions in the Côte d'Azur and yet here I am in a one bedroom apartment. :confused:
 
I learned that I am able to get out of my head and let things go. This is YUGE!! *said in bad Donald Trump voice - no golden shower included ;) *
 
The rabbit vibrator was invented in 1983. Way earlier than I thought. Apparently "Because the toys were made in Japan, where manufacturers weren't actually allowed to make vibrators, the devices were shaped to look like animals", and "They settled on a rabbit as the animal for toy, since the rabbit is a lucky charm in Japan".
 
That I have at least one cool boss. I didn't realize that I was fifteen minutes late to work and she said not to worry about it.

TIL that Japanese engineers are rockstars.
 
Something terrible. A bully stick is a bull testicle. It's the worst smell when a dog eats it, so we don't buy them anymore, but in life there are some things best left to the unknown. That should have been one of them.

"out, damned spot! out"
 
That there are amazing inventions I should be buying from Amazon right now!!
