It comes as no surprise that each year science advances itself in ways that the previous generation would have once only dreamed. A cocktail of creativity, curiosity and some well-padded governmentally funded wallets, continues feeding the feverish minds of scientists across the globe to discover new ways to do old things.
The BBC recently compiled a list of the “100 Things We Didn’t Know Last Year“, which interests me in the way that I can hear my grandfather’s voice in my head saying, “When I was your age, we didn’t have microwaves, or televisions! We had to walk to school, in ten inches of snow, uphill…both ways!”
What do YOU know now that you didn’t know at this time last year? Tell me, oh three people that read this blog. I’m interested.
From my standpoint:
1) Styrofoam cups change the taste of vodka martinis
2) XM Radio has a 90’s station that regularly plays “Informer” and “Ice Ice Baby”. It is the. best. station. EVER.
3) Brooklyn is the new New York.
4) Appendixes are fickle, fragile little things that hurt real bad to have removed…but the drugs they put you on won’t let you remember any of it.
5) Although there are probably many things you don’t necessarily want to hear your hair stylist say while he or she is in the act of styling your hair, I have to believe that the two things at the top of that list are “oops” and “we’ll be done in one sec, right after I tease the back of your hair and douse it with aerosol hairspray.”
