TIL: I am an idiot for not having bought these cable-driven hose clamp pliers years ago. I suddenly don't hate those spring type clamps anymore!
There are probably enough covers of Africa now to have have their own channel.
TIL: That remaining friendly while not explicitly refusing to oblige a rather tempting offer is called "playing hard to get", which some gals seem to perceive as a challenge.
Poached eggs can explode in your face when you stick a fork in them.
I was cleaning egg off of the floor, three walls, and the ceiling. As well as having an immediate need to do some laundry and wash my face and hair.
TIL that a friend of mine legally changed her name a couple decades ago. As far as I'm aware, I've never known anyone who has gotten to choose their own name and I can't help but be fascinated with that concept!

This could be a new internet craze. Quick tell a teenager.

It's definitely one of those times I wish I could have recorded. It was very startling and somewhat embarassing. "Boy do I have egg on my face" has never meant so much!
I'm kind of afraid to try it again. (Poaching an egg in the microwave with intent to eat, that is) The only thing I can figure is that my one handed egg cracking technique is so good that the yolk stayed perfectly intact, and/or that it was a particularly strong yolk.
TIL that if you leave your razor face-up in the bathroom and you slip there's a near-100% chance that your ballsack will hit the razor blades.
I like melted cheese and I really like french fries. Apparently the local race track has found a way to combine the two and turn it into a nasty, unpleasant, almost inedible mess. No more cheese fries for me from that place.

TIL the meaning and purpose of "tack coat". Unfortunately I learned that several coats too late.

Whoa.

Today I learned (while driving on the freeway) that the true meaning of BMW is "Block My Way."
I learned that you can plug a leak if you have an appropriately sized magic marker.
During my morning commute a plastic heater line connector broke near the firewall behind the engine on my Jag XK. It turns out that the broken connector is sold as part of the heater hose, so this would be a quick and easy fix... once I got the car home. Since flow to the heater is non-critical I plugged both ends of the broken hose with marker pens, carefully topped up the radiator, then drove home—taking great care to keep the rpms low. Made it with no leaks!
Someone thought people would enjoy some Princess Vitarah songs while they had dinner. She makes some “interesting” music.
Googles Princess Vitarah...

TIL that a water pump can work so well that it forces a thermostat to close.
TIL that Hoss Cartwright owned a race car - a Huffaker Genie Mk 10.
Today I learned someone can put a construction schedule together and pretty much completely destroy much of what you've been working towards over the last month and a half. 
Today I realized the last few cars I've bought all had autolite plugs and a fram oil filter in them when I got them. Its almost as if I keep buying suspiciously cheap E36 M3boxes from questionable peole.
TIL that if you wait around at work long enough the tool in charge of my job might announce he is retiring by the end of the year.
Today I realized (TIR) they will probably put another tool in charge and I have no chance at the position nor would I want it.
TIL if you really want to squeeze the stupid out of Craigslist you need to advertise a 79 Cadillac. My ad clearly states not running best as parts car. The other day I had a guy wanting to fly and drive from Atlanta. This morning a guy called saying he needed a car ASAP but doesn’t have the money until payday. I pointed out it doesn’t run. He wants to know exactly why it won’t run. Well if I had the time to figure that out I’d fix it and ask for more. Then he ask how far I am from Savannah. When I say 2 hours he ask if I can meet him half way. Really dude? You want me to meet you half way with a non running $600 car that you don’t have the money for?
