bending_sickleIt's Saturday!*
Sorry about spamming today - or rather, technically, yesterday. Why did no one tell me it was Blog Like It's the End of the World Day? I've been daydreaming about the zombiepocalypse for days, weeks even. *pout* The stuff I could'a written...
Anyway, it's the wee hours and I've been home for a little bit. I just wanted to say that at 9:30 pm I went off to have coffee with Leslie, an event which turned out to include James and Guy-Who's-Name-I've-Forgotten. We had coffee (translation: hot chocolate or beer) outside a bar where folk were watching the Netherlands/France game. (Netherlands won 4-1.) Then we wandered the streets amidst cheering people in bright orange (the national colour). One drunk guy pissed in the middle of the street, waving and cheering at passerbys. Bizarre male ritual? Anyway, we then went to Olivier, the Belgian bar - only the Dutch would spell it more like Oleevjeer or somesuch - and chatted. GWNIF asked, at one point, for interesting facts, so I pulled out the "frogs swallow with their eyeballs" tidbit. Ah, to be a biologist amongst linguists :)

Date: 2008-06-14 02:37 am (UTC)glad you got out and about tonight- sounds fun! talking ees good! the crappy thing about interesting facts is that i can never ever remember any off the top of my head, only in actual conversations about similar things (and even then, i forgot most of my most memorable minutia).
in the middle ages, educated people at universities prepared books of minutia for the natural sciences and stuff, for the students to study. they knew that it was the random bizarre crap that everyone tends to remember, so they compiled a bunch of it and had people memorize them.
see, that was interesting fact but related to the topic at hand. and yet i can't quite remember the details, so i hope i have it right. frigging mcgill, teaching me so much awesome only to have it slowly leeched from my brain over time.
