Talisman Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I learned that a gongoozler is someone who stares for hours at anything out of the ordinary. I guess that makes me one too then ! Most people who know me would say I am anything but ordinary ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Diet coke tastes like water, sugar, and some cola. That's it. Real coke burns your throat and isn't really sweet. Awesome stuff. You can practically feel it cleaning your insides. I prefer Diet Coke. I'll drink Coke occasionally but I swear I can feel it rotting my teeth as it goes in. I hate to think what it does to my innards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie2008 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I learned to let sponge go really cold before attempting to put butter icing on (OK I already knew that but it mustn't have been cold enough). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anika Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Something I've learned today... That I've still NOT learned to avoid spicy food and chocolate just before going to sleep! It culminates in the most bizarre dreams, for some strange reason....? Edited January 19, 2010 by Anika title addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucybird Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Cleans 'em like oven cleaner Diet is just too sweet, it leaves this sickly sweet aftertaste. Did you know they use a chemical that's in Coke to clean blood off the roads in America? I prefer diet too, find it more easily drinkable, not sure why.

poppyshake Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I saw an old episode of QI today and learnt that you shouldn't discard mussels if you tap them and they don't open .. it's a complete fallacy and infact the reverse is true if anything. The thing is I've seen two cookery shows this week that told you to discard them if they stay closed so Stephen Fry will just have to ring up James Martin et al and tell them to stop repeating this nonsense. I have never eaten mussels so the chances of me using the info is probably nil but I like the fact that I have one more thing to shout at the TV. It's just occurred to me that maybe it's also a fallacy that every fact you hear on QI is true but that can't be right .. Stephen would never lie.

Mexicola Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 QI often makes me angry when it declares that something I have believed so solidly for years is incorrect But it's enlightening at the same time, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 We should get rid of teachers and just let children watch episodes of QI because it seems that everything we were taught is wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexicola Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yep. Stephen Fry should be responsible for everyone's education. It's a hefty responsibility, but I reckon he'd walk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be my thing I learned today. Then again, since I learned about crushed beetles being used for red.... skittles? M&Ms? Whichever - nothing really surprises m.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I've heard that about Coke but I've never tested it out! Yikes! This is odd but I learned what the term 'Lot Lizard' means today. Everyone was surprised I hadn't heard of it before. Apparently it's code for a prostitute who hangs around in a truck stop parking lot . I had no idea! Is the US the only place that has truck stops? I've often wondered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
