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

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

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

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.

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.

I am sick and tired of green flashing boxes on this forum that demand my attention just as the doorbell or phone does :(
I'm under enough scrutiny as it is - I don't want flashing boxes from uninviteds.

Rant over and I'm off me soapbox :)

Checked out a new forum this morning 'cause I thought I ought to see what retired people are like and what is expected of me in this new chapter of my life .... I learned that not all forums are worth the effort. I don't do lunch, don't intend to grow old gracefully, and I don't have grandkids to brag about. Seems you lot will just have to put up with me for a good while longer because I sure as bobbins don't fit in over there. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/02/17.gif
