Today I learnt that you can burn things to charcoal in a microwave. In fact there were very nearly flames.

I set sweet potato crisps alight. Or was it aubergine?
All I know is they ignited in the time it took me to cross my little kitchen in Leicester.

That was under the grill though.

Today I learned that stern, tough guys aren't always quite so tough. Keep in mind, this is a 70 yo, high-school math teacher, Vietnam War veteran, no children, never married:

Yes, I've set things into flames in the microwave before. You know what else can burn things to charcoal? A toaster oven...well, a convection oven. Yups. I was baking a tray of taco shells and had forgotten about it. Became charcoal....black, crisp piles that emitted such black smoke that the entire inside of of the oven was covered a thick black layer of it. I was lucky that I didn't burn my place down.

I love babies.

I used to volunteer at children's hospital, and I spelled parents too, but not with infants. Man, that looks like a prime assignment.

Today I learned that a "lightly loaded" Boeing 777 is quicker than a lot of 'sports' cars.

0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds!

FYI - A 777-200 (the lightest (!) version) weighs 297,000 lbs - empty.

Today I learned that I am politically impartial.

It was budget day and I slept through most of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech and that of the leader of Her Majesty's loyal opposition.

Are you sure you haven't just learned not to get excited about shit you can't do anything about?

You know Bruce, you might just have a point there.

Today I learned that if you eat Swiss cheese then drink orange juice the resulting taste is reminiscent of vomit

How to solve a x^2 + b x + c = 0 for x.

And not to invest in the Beer Ice Cream float truck.
