Woodrow Wilson said that actually.

Wow, so America's most fascist president wanted the world safe for democracy.

I learned something today, in that case. Also, one of my female…friends? it's complicated. She looks good when her hair is long and curly though.

Today I learned that while they say you can't bring backpacks into the University Library, nobody actually checks up on this until you're leaving.

The potential utility of this fact has yet to be determined. I cannot confirm or deny the planning of any zany schemes hinging on this fact at present.

Today, I now lean more on the side of agreeing with the EMH rather than disagreeing. Maybe another day I'll shift over again.

My nation is not like my nation page at all, it contradicts itself, we don't EVER eat kangaroos, that's just very sad. Also vegetarianism is compulsory yet it still says it's the nation's favourite main course and all and stuff.

A lot from BBC's latest Panorama... taxing cigarettes severely reduced the usage of cigarettes, thus taxing sugar/salt/fat high crap food could help reduce the potentially huge cost of obesity in the UK, which in the next 50 years could rise from the present cost of £10bln to £30bln as 25% of the population becomes "obese", if things go unchecked. That's just for treatments on the NHS, not accounting for other things like productivity I don't think.

Also, when trying to estimate the mineral cost of unit attributes in StarCraft 2, basing it purely on DPS and HP seems more balanced than breaking down, say, the marine's mineral cost between all of their stats.

Also, discovered how to access pelt mapping for 3dstudiomax.
