    TIL that due to the way a rotting apple releases ethylene (which accelerates rotting), one bad apple really does ruin the whole bunch.

    Also, you shouldn't store fresh flowers near fruit (learned this during the grocery store days)

    Did you know that you could add a cap full of Vodka to the water to keep cut flowers (buttercups) longer?

    I didn't! I'm just an expert at killing plants. I've decided they look very nice out in nature, instead of dead in my house.

    Doesn't work for roses :( Don't put in too much or else the flowers will start to smell like vodka...Wait, don't they say that vodka does not smell. :/

    Also, Im not sure if in a desperate moment I might drink the plant water if Vodka was involved :D

    TIL that shaving while listening to George Clintons Erotic City is very tough. Hard to keep the blade moving in unison with the head bobbing to beat of the music.

    This belongs in the vague thread

    TIL That John Lennon wrote "I Am The Walrus" simply because he wanted to mess with people who were trying to analyze The Beatles songs (but inevitably people tried to anyway).

    A lot of times things aren't the way we think they are and as a result we cause ourselves a lot of sadness and unnecessary grief. We need to communicate our feelings with those in our lives so much more than we do!

    TIL when George Westinghouse fell into financial problems and asked Nikola Tesla for relief from the royalties Westinghouse agreed to, Tesla tore up the contract that would bring him millions. "I'm not interested in money, I'm interested in leaving something behind for the humankind".

    Not to go out to a club & get seriously drunk with a new group of friends & pull out all your worst dance moves. Flashback of lifting my top & baring my bra at one point.

    2 words.

    NEVER AGAIN.

    Sometimes our soul just needs a crazy night
