Everything I [Didn't] Need to Know in Life I Learned From The Bride of the First House:
- A Mac can blue screen. I done gone and crashed a Mac G4. Except, unlike the Windoes counterpart, it's a lovely serene sky blue.
- The whisk is better suited to mixing and breaking up the rolled oats mixture for Apple Crumble. Chopsticks are used to beat eggs.
- The bar at the top of a radical symbol and a long division symbol, that stretches and shrinks to accommodate the radicand and the dividend expressions, respectively, is called the "vinculum".
- The "remainder" of a long hand root calculation is called the "surd".
- ... ... ...
So, tell me. What have you learned from me?

My acupuncturist was grateful someone taught one of his patients that.
Also, Vinculum for those who were wondering, and also Solidus for those who weren't.
Tell me, great one who eats shoots and leaves; what is the rule for placing a period within a quotation mark and/or outside of a quotation mark?
Grammar rules say it's supposed to go inside. But that's always looked like incorrectly nested punctuation to me. The period is ending the sentence, which begins outside of the open quote, so it should go outside of the close quote.
If it's a single word, I usually put the period after. If it's more than one word, I'll put it inside =P
it was normal until a friend slept over and they were like "..chopsticks?" :P
