What are three new things you learned today?

[Godhumor]

1) I learned Andrew Jackson's parrot was removed from his funeral for excessive swearing.

2) I learned that the process to prevent fired executives from receiving termination bonuses is extremely hard and unlikely (The Disney lawsuit from a few years back being a prime example)

3) I learned that all age discrimination laws and acts currently in effect (in the US) only protect people over 40 and that there is currently no legal recourse for those younger than that age to argue that they were fired or not hired for being too young.

...that's odd. I learned the same 3 things.

2. I learned that it IS possible to vomit even if you haven't eaten anything in 12+ hours

and that ginger ale really does help an upset stomach.

3. A pressure point that really helps nausea

Now you know another thing. ;)

Hope you feel better.

4. Oddly enough, I've been told that there's another one on the bottom of the forearm

that, if struck just right on both arms at the same time, induces vomiting. :P

Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better now. Once I felt safe to drive, I made a ginger ale and chicken soup run, and the ginger ale calmed my stomach down enough to handle the chicken soup. So now I'm just a little tired and sick, not tired, sick, nauseous, dehydrated and hungry. :)

5. i learned that some dragons are angry for legitimate reasons

2. traveling back in time may or may not cause an infinite cascade of universes or destruction thereof, aka the cartesian product of all human actions since the beginning of humans and even farther back than that. If somehow you managed to go back in time, you would find yourself in a spacetime that is changed from the spacetime you traveled back into the past to, from the future. It would seem normal, however, to everyone inside this spacetime, because they would be brought into existance the moment you traveled back in time (infinite cascade), yet they would remember everything that happened to them from the moment they could possibly remember. (because their timeline did not exist in your world, but the moment you went back in time you created them, with their previous memories intact) Even you now, could be in one of these alternate timelines and you wouldn't know it. (because everyone in an alternate timeline would think they are in the "authentic" timeline) So, there are an infinite number of alternate universes, with every single different combination of human "decisions" from every single human that lived upon the Earth.

3. God if it exists, is most likely in the same fashion as the greek god Chronos. The dimension of time is the key to understanding the importance of humans, and the mind of God.
