I was today years old when I learned they “hey man, what’s up?” is not an appropriate response to “Peace be with you” when everyone stands up in a Catholic Church and greets each other. (I was bewildered when this happened).

Yeah, not a Catholic. Catholicism is weird. It’s like, a religion, or something.

Brussels sprouts halved, seared in bacon grease, then simmered in chicken stock garlic and onion powder are delicious.

Does it kill the tastes of the sprouts?

Used basketball sneakers, prepared the same way, are also probably pretty good.

Mostly, what’s left tastes like cooked cabbage if you like that.

Well they have to be Nike’s. Lol

I was today years old when I decyphered some of the Orthodox Christmas liturgy, which is sung in the original (hellenistic ancient Greek)
Mind you, I 've followed the "classical" course in high school.

So, it's not "let's help the Lord", but rather "let's ask the Lord"
It's not "Lord, teach me my rights" (e.g. to remain silent ) but rather "Lord, teach me your rulings"

Hellenistic Greek is not more distant from modern Greek than Shakesperean English is from modern English (which, in comparison is a 2,200 year time distance as opposed to a 400 year distance) but it provides many funny misunderstandings even for litterate people, as, supposedly, myself.

You only just finding that out? Duh.

And this coming from a Scot, too.

The country known for haggis...

The country known for haggis...

if you have tried haggis and didn’t like it then I will respect your opinion. If you haven’t tried it but are defaming it based on reputation, I shall jump on the next flight and wrestle you wearing just my kilt (and nothing else)

I have to defend my national Scottish dish (even though it gives me gout when I eat it)

I thought this was the result of me buying a cheap measure

Glad I haven't tried to "fix" it.

This is why I hire people who build shit.

Not catholic, but my step-family is. I'm not sure if they mix things up just to keep us non-catholics on our toes, but I just learned they've changed the response from 'and also with you' (normal, makes sense) to 'and with your spirit' (baffling).

It's Brussels Sprouts not Brussel Sprouts. Well I never!

Brussel sprouts are not real food. They are alien eggs that have spoiled and will soon become radioactive zombie eyeballs.

I’d either be like:

“Hey, whoa, hold on, I’m still doing ok, let’s keep the spirit on the inside”

Or like:

I was today years old when I found out percentages are reversible. So example 8% of 25 is the same as 25% of 8. Which makes it way easier to work out the first one. Call me simple but this has blown my mind

I keep learning it & then forgetting it.

They made a handful of changes to the mass a while ago (probably close to 20 years now) to reflect more accurate translations of the original Latin.

I told my son this and he told me I'm an idiot and that it's basic maths.

You know I think it was last year or the year before when I realized wrapped up like a deuce was deuce and not.. well.....

And now you're three years older learning it was "revved up like a deuce" after Manfred Mann changed Bruce's original lyrics from "Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night."

Apparently he didn't play hi/lo split.
