What have you learned this week that is worth sharing?

Whether it be a useless but interesting factoid, or a helpful practical "I was today old when I found out...", share the wealth!

It's something to do with the acid ruining the test. Orange juice does it too.

The original phrase is...

'The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb'

Which, I think, means: your brothers in arms are more important than your milk brothers.... or loyalty over family.. or something

I must not try to help fledgling blackbirds on the ground. Their parents have usually kicked them out and will still feed them.

I learnt 'ambivalent' doesn't mean 'not bothered'. It actually means 'simultaneous conflicting feelings' (from a German word).

Although I do think common usage as 'not bothered'/'couldn't care' is how it's mostly used.

14% of 50 is 7

Today I learned that this ?! is a genuine piece of punctuation called an interrobang.

It was invented in the 1960s by a journalist called Martin Speckter.

I think but am not totally sure that disinterested is closer to what people actually mean when they say ambivalent... Like a judge is meant to be disinterested in a case brought before them.

an interrobang?! sounds like a means of questioning whilst fucking! Good factoid though, what was Speckters reason for inventing it?!

It was to signify an excited utterance or a rhetorical question. Who isn't a fan of an excited utterance?!

I'd quite like to take part in an interrobang.
