Things I Learned on RF Today

[John53]

I didn’t learn anything.

All Black Cockatoos are left handed.

Are we talking rugby or birds with hands here?

Things I learned today - @John53 inhabits a strange universe of rugby-playing birds with opposable digits. Could be another incidence of inter-dimensional contact on RF.

If that's true, i learned it here on RF.

It's true, most parrots are left handed.

Not a parrot but confirms your claim for birds in general. Particularly female birds

 

[Secret Chief]

Some birds are ambiguous.

That's domestic abuse

Eating garlic is good bug repellent.

Handy to know, this time of year we use a repellent spray on all exposed skin. It works for most but my eldest daughter gets bitten to death. So she's going on a garlic regime.

@Quagmire, is that a whole bulb or a clove?

I usually try to eat three good sized cloves, one clove at a time with a 20 minute or a half an hour break in between (eating too much in one sitting can make you nauseous).

Best way to take it is to mash it up and let it sit in the open air for 15 minutes before you eat it. Supposedly this activates the ingredient that bugs don't like.

I learned that @King Phenomenon didn't learn anything today.

ITT, we post bits of wisdom we learn on RF...to consolidate the wisdom shared on this forum into one "RF Book of Wisdom"...if you will.

He who is not handsome at 20, strong at 30, rich at 40 or wise at 50 will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.

Sympathy is what you offer in exchange for the details.

Data are not information. Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom.

An optimist is someone who thinks he'll feel more like cleaning up in the morning.

Man, that's all bad news.

Cheers, she'll give it a try. Good job she likes garlic;-)

I had a spiritual experience after eating 3 of these, and learned that mosquitos are indeed the devil’s messengers.

Umlauts and pessimism go together.

Umlauts and pessimism go together.

Pessimüsm?

Big day for new words on RF.
