That it's impossible for people to not reply to AW posts. A whole 90ish minutes passed between jimbooo's "GBCN" post without a response, and I was so proud of everyone.

I found that fascinating as well.

I learned that Jerry Orbach from Law & Order was the voice of Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. I had no clue. That was one of my favorite movies back in the day.

I go to the comic book store too much. Both with my SO and without my SO to get his comics. This isn't the first time he has recognized me. Also, not only do we have a small bookshelf filled up with comics, our dining room table has piles of comic books on it.

Allspice is a single spice, like cinnamon or nutmeg. Until today, I thought it was a mixture! I feel a little stupid.

ETA: And I need to buy a Diva cup. I had no clue people actually used those, let alone liked them. I'm floored.

Ditto lots of these.

But mainly the soy milk in Starbucks. Yuck!

A better one - I just learned that all 3 of the secretaries in my office are looking for a new job, the secretary in the district office is as well. It would be awesome if we all left at the same, or similar times.
