What did you learn today?

[redsew]

Well after being active around the "What did you do today?" thread, I decided that we should have a "What did you learn today?" thread since it seems more... Reasonable and on topic than "What did you do today?".

We learn something new everyday, so why not share it?
If you learn something in this thread, feel free to quote and say you learned that!
It's an off topic discussion about being on topic with what you learned!


Today I learned that:
"Tom and Jerry" was a British slang term from the 1800's, meaning "to fight and cause trouble".

This is turning into a stupid carbon copy of http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/off-topic-478/what-you-did-today-247705/. We don't need two threads for directionless droning conversations about absolutely nothing at all.
