Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted October 25, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted October 25, 2016 This is yesterday, but after I made the "Metapod met a pod of Metapod" status I googled it to see if anyone else had thought of it before me. Then I learned there's an entire album of songs about Metapod from an artist called "Metapodestroyer". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartar Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 TIL why the Fahrenheit scale is made as it is. Apparently Astronomers in the 18. century really loved the number 60 and wanted all scales to be divisible by this number. And Fahrenheit (the scientist) wanted to use 60 as a base for his temperature scale. So he made water freeze at 1/8 of 60, and then the temperature of the human body was 3/8's of 60 and the boiling point of water was 60. But because the numbers came out weird, so he multiplied all numbers by 4. And then he tweaked those numbers a bit because they were still weird. And that's how we have the Fahrenheit scale where water freezes at 32, the human body is temperature is 98, and water boils at 212* Celcius... Gosh, Fahrenheit is weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartar Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 TIL what the word coquettish means: "characteristically flirtatious, especially in a teasing, lighthearted manner." After reading how Holo from Spice and Wolf being repeatedly called it by Lawrance I decided to finally look the word up. And apparently, it's the perfect word to describe her relationship with Lawrance, neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
