Refridgerators

If you leave a fridge plugged in after it stops cooling anything, it will get pretty damn hot.
If a fridge is broken, unplug it.
Your repairman will thank you.

Someone had a no-hitter

What I didn't know was that a no-hitter ≠ a perfect game.

Hierophant

I was discussing my desire to have more intellectual conversations at work with a friend today and he offered me this word:

Hierophant:

1. An ancient Greek priest who interpreted sacred mysteries, especially the priest of the Eleusinian mysteries.
2. An interpreter of sacred mysteries or arcane knowledge.
3. One who explains or makes a commentary.

Thank you for not talking about the weather.

I learn, therefore I am

I've concluded that a day without learning anything is a day I have merely existed. A better title for this blog would be "What I Learned Today," but Latin is much more fun.

Aut disce aut discede - Either learn or leave, and folks, I'm not going anywhere.
