I've learned that often 2 separate companies often are really one in the same.
An example of this is Time Warner Communications and BrightHouse networks are the same company just a name change.How nutty this is..

A one and a half day old chicken embryo has a tail with 16 vertebra in it it. By the time it hatches it has five.
I learned this watching a doco about re-engineering birds to become Dinosaurs.
They have figured out how to make a chick grow teeth, have scales instead of feathers, have the intestinal system of a vulture so it can eat meat, and grow a tail.
This has not all happened to the same bird at once,
but is different work by different researchers in different places.
But it will happen!

Hang on guys, there's a velociraptor shaped chicken coming to a pet store near YOU!
:D Woot!

When I'm posting on WP, at 2:30 in the morning, I'm typing the words, that I say out, in my dreams, when I'm usually sleeping at that time.

I just now learned that the Superbowl is always played at a stadium with a roof. I don't know how many times Ive seen the Superbowl but I never noticed the place always has a roof.

I've learned that I'm not the only person whom has an interest in sci-fi/fantasy/horror films and books.. Well, there is little else to offer at this moment..
