So, what did you learn today?

I'll start: Hitting an object until it works is known as 'Percussive Maintenance' :)

Ooh - I do like this idea... let me think.

I learnt that my Dad does a worryingly good camp voice.

I learnt my account was approved. Yay :D

Also, I learnt that playing countdown by the urban dictionary's a lot harder than it looks.

(Hosted the first ever game of countdown by that 'lexicon') :P

Yeah, I was also witness to that Hyper Urban Dictionary game between Innis and Andy. Innis took an early lead with WANKBAGS for 8, Andy tried to pull it back by trying ARSEMANGLING for 12, but sadly it was disallowed. OCTOPENIS appeared as a beater at one point as well

T'was actually MANBAGS, WANKBAGS was a later but nonetheless good spot.
