Today I learnt that I had no idea that ‘Polish’ (nationality) and ‘Polish’ (to make something shiny) are spelled the same way. I mean, I knew how both words were spelled independently, but today it hit me that they’re spelled the same way. paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

We all have to come to that revelation at some point in our lives. Welcome to the club.

UCs are cool but very very difficult to get into unless you’re applying from out of the country. 

By the way, I asked and my family is, sadly, slugless– although a good friend of mine goes there.

I meant to post this a few days ago but forgot and it’s another Queen Victoria thing.

 

The Victoria tube line in London is not named after Queen Victoria but actually Victoria Station.

Victoria Station is not named after the Victoria but rather the nearby Victoria street.

Victoria street is not named after Queen Victoria but instead Victoria, the city centre and CBD of the City of Westminster.

Victoria, city centre is named after Queen Victoria.

 

Phew

I learned that there’s a kind of ramen named “hell ramen” which is, like, spicy as hell.

The process of learning was excruciating.paul-mccartney

Earth is mostly composed of green fudge.

I’m not kidding, Earth is mostly mantle and the mantle is technically rock but it’s basically green fudge.
