Two (and a half) for one!
1. There's a man out there named Eugene Nunnery, and he's a horrifyingly violent man. Then again, if I was named Eugene Nunnery, I probably would be predisposed toward a life of crime too.
1.5. (When I looked that up, I found out that the Nevada Supreme Court just had its 60,000th case filed. Apparently, 10,000 of these cases have been filed in the last four and a half years!)
2. The chapter on water regulations in the Nevada Administrative Code has algebraic formulas in it concerning the levels of toxic materials in our water (including ammonia, bleh!). Bonus-- I remembered what e stands for in these equations (natural logarithm) even if I don't remember what it's used for or why. Haha.
I like this question because I tend to pick up useless information at my job all the time. It doesn't mean it's all interesting, but it's still kind of funny sometimes. Then again, I find all sorts of things fascinating and amusing, probably not for any mature or normal reason. Case in point, I learned a fair amount about food additives yesterday, but that doesn't really answer the question, does it?
Anyway, I'm glad it's Thursday, even if I did just pay all my bills and take out the trash. I also still don't know what I'm going to do about other things. It's always something. Oh well. Just got to figure it out, I guess.
