What did you learn today off the internet?

Thought I'd open up this thread to show that the internet is a tool from which you can never stop learning from..

Today I learned that cows can swim

Re: What did you learn today off the internet?

Oooooh I already knew cows can swim, I guess years of watching cowboy movies with my Dad did have an educational value after all

I have tracked down a list of which plants are non-toxic to cats.

Re: What did you learn today off the internet?

That some fat half naked guy with a dog strapped to his chest dancing is really, really sad and unnerving.

Tomorrow's weather isn't looking that bad.

Oh and there's nothing on TV after 9pm.

Re: What did you learn today off the internet?

Guys this thread isn't about what you found on the internet but instead that the internet has taught you a fact that you never knew before.. We learn continuously through life so please keep the thread on track.

OK then - let me re-phrase it:

Learned that where was a thread on the internet Cable Fourm site called "What did you learn today off the internet?" which tells me random facts which help me learn what a big wide world it is.

Better?
