Post something you learnt today thread
John Lennon's Happy Xmas (war is over) song starts with Yoko whispering "Happy Christmas, Kyoko", then John whispering "Happy Christmas, Julian". Not as I always thought "Happy Christmas, Yoko. Happy Christmas, John".

That Einstein's brain was removed within hours of his death and without permission. Then it was photographed, studied and later dissected into about 240 pieces which were preserved in some sort of plastic.

I learned/learnt to use zoom and pan commands in AutoCAD on a touchpad. I've been using the program for some 8 years now and I've always been doing those things with a mouse wheel. So, what do you do when you only have a laptop computer without a mouse and need to get a drawing done quickly? Learn to use the goddamn touchpad!

I learnt that you can set Photoshop Lightroom so that, as you open a new menu on the right in Develop mode, the one you had open closes! Useful for keeping things in order.
I also learnt that Americans say learned and English ones say learnt. If you are going to use our language you American ones, then start spelling things correctly and stop writing bitchy things in your national security records about us!!!!!!
